Shows

Porträt Georg Friedrich Händel sitzend mit Notenblättern Handel's festive music for the peace fireworks of 1749 should only be played by "warlike instruments". Paolo Grazzi brings this impressive wind music spectacle back to life.

Content

impressive "brass band spectacle"

King George II hatte sich unmissverständlich ausgedrückt: In Händels Festmusik zum Friedensfeuerwerk von 1749 wollte er keine Streicher hören, sondern nur „Martial Instruments“. 24 Oboen, 9 Hörner, 9 Trompeten, 12 Fagotte, Kontrafagott und 3 Pauken vereinten sich zur „Royal Fireworks Music“. Der italienische Meisteroboist Paolo Grazzi lässt dieses imposante „Blasmusik-Spektakel“ bei der Styriarte wieder auferstehen. Dazu entsenden acht Musikhochschulen und Konservatorien ihre besten Barockbläser.

Oboe

Paolo Grazzi was awarded the "Premier Prix" with distinction in oboe and baroque oboe in Italy in 1981 and soon became a recognised specialist for this instrument, both as a performer and as a teacher in Italy and abroad. As a performer, he regularly collaborates with leading early music ensembles in Europe. He also teaches oboe at the Verona Conservatory.
