Friends For Life - Krieger and Höffler

Description

Musikere: Musizierende Gesellschaft Leipzig - Nadja Zwiener, violin, Georg Zeike, gambe og Leif Meyer, cembalo Musik af Johann Philipp Krieger (1649-1725) og Conrad Höffler (1647-1696) Den tyske barokkomponist Johann Philipp Krieger studerede i København i løbet af 1660’erne, men til trods herfor hører vi alt for sjældent hans smukke værker på koncert – nu er den tyske student atter tilbage i København og præsenteres denne formiddag på fornemste vis sammen med en af sine barndomsvenner komponisten Conrad Höffler af tre virtuoser på hvert deres instrument. ”Friends for life” præsenterer en ofte overset komponist, Johann Philipp Krieger, som selv boede og virkede i København i en årrække. Musicians: Musizierende Gesellschaft Leipzig – Nadja Zwiener, violin; Georg Zeike, viola da gamba; and Leif Meyer, harpsichord Music by Johann Philipp Krieger (1649–1725) and Conrad Höffler (1647–1696) The German Baroque composer Johann Philipp Krieger studied in Copenhagen during the 1660s, yet his beautiful works are still too rarely performed in concert today. Now, this former student returns to Copenhagen and is presented in this morning’s concert alongside one of his childhood friends, the composer Conrad Höffler, performed by three virtuosos on their respective instruments. Friends for Life highlights the music of the often-overlooked Johann Philipp Krieger, who himself lived and worked in Copenhagen for a number of years.
