Albrecht Mayer, with this name I had long, for whatever reason, a kind of Weichspülklassik "associated as it is high and runtergedudelt in various classical stations around Christmas time. Until I have recently seen him in Frankfurt in concert and was blown away , As Mayer embodies the music, as he drags his musicians, phrasing makes visible and live reports, the course taught at the very best in live concert. Nevertheless, giving his CDs a good impression of the contagious joy of playing again. Well, the working of eternal classics like Ombra mai fu "and Lascia qu'io pianga" would not have needed me, but if Mayer wins in this way one or the other classical newcomers for themselves, it's all right with me. Otherwise convince me, however, the newly assembled from Handel arias "Oboenkonzerte across the board!
