Armonico Tributo Austria
Armonico Tributo, hailed by critics due to its versatility, virtuosity, and innovativeness was created in 1989 by Lorenz Duftschmid and his closest friends through their shared vision of creating a forum to address modern day cultural concerns using original instruments.
The remarkably varied repertoire of Armonico Tributo ranges from the ancient sounds of Celtic music to Middle Age, Renaissance and Baroque, encompassing Viennese classics as well. The AnLeut publishing company was created for the purpose of experimenting with contemporary music on ancient instruments.
Like in Georg Muffats collection of instrumental concerts (published in Salzburg, 1682) the idea becomes program: An inspiring concert of nations as a contribution to harmonise the world. Honourable invitations and successful performances to highly reputated festivals and the imposing taking up of the CDs testify the growing acceptance of this vision in vast classes of the audience in a delightful way and are motivation for Armonico Tributo to go on on its adventurous journey through the sounding centuries.
For Armonico Tributo each musician is a respected artistic identity to ensure success. Armonico Tributo's production planning puts a special interest in the particular. Whether in mystic original-sound installations of four, baroque slap-sticks, the complete open-air realisation of a "horse ballet" or in the interpretation of Johann Sebastian Bach's orchestral suites: Average is never setting the fashion and the "Armonico Tributo-effect" occurs - The enthusiasm for music emits sparks from the stage directly to the audience.
