Swiss tenor Mauro Peter is equally at home on the operatic stage and in the recital hall. He began his career singing in the Lucerne Boys Choir. He studied at the Munich University of Music and Theater and the Bavarian Theater Academy, and his teachers included Fenna Kügel-Seifried, August Everding, Christoph Adt, and Helmut Deutsch.
…An exceptionally interesting chamber music record that allows a dynamic and original young musician to produce himself in very elegant company indeed!
This album is a story of family and friendship. Positioned between homage to a father figure and modernity, the viola da gamba sonatas of Carl Philipp Emanuel and Johann Christian Bach are a revealing element in the history of the Bach family and its ties of friendship with two families of virtuoso instrumentalists, the Abels and the Hesses, who had already inspired the work of Johann Sebastian.
