Description
One of the most versatile trumpeters in the
classical world, Simon Höfele, releases a new
album “Nobody Knows” together with the BBC
Symphony Orchestra under Geoffrey Paterson
and Ilan Volkov. On his 4th album on Berlin
Classics he plays the trumpet concertos by Bernd
Alois Zimmermann, Christian Jost and Toshio
Hosokawa, spanning an arc from the 20th to the
21st century and proves once again that the
trumpet can do more than just "shine". “These
three works are really important to me. I have
played all three before and I was always
fascinated by their darkness.”, he explains his
choice of repertoire. “This is heavy, almost
depressive music, and that applies to all three of
these works. This is heavy music in two respects:
loaded with gloom, and also not at all easy to
play. The is a definitive political message to
“Nobody Knows de Trouble I see”, which makes it
even more fascinating.”
