About

The Berlin public of the mid-Eighteenth Century was fascinated by the ‘original genius’ of C. P. E. Bach and never tired of listening to his concertos.

These works call for a talented soloist capable of mastering the multiple facets of an original and finely worked musical texture: a challenge taken up with panache (and on a period instrument) by the oboist Xenia Löffler, surrounded by her distinguished colleagues of the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin.

Awards and reviews

March 2020

Löffler is one of the most accomplished baroque oboists around and her performances never disappoints my ears. Her easy virtuosity in outer movements and expressive delicacy in the centrally-placed slow ones are a constant source of pleasure, as is the sharply defined accompaniment of the Akademie für Alte Music, Berlin…The symphonies spring to life in the hands of these players. Their supple rhythmic responses serve the music admirably.

January 2020

Mingling athletic precision and devil-may-care abandon, the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin relish the music’s seething energy and harmonic and dynamic shocks...Löffler is all you could ask in this repertoire, phrasing and colouring with spontaneous flair, bringing a twinkling sense of fun (not a word readily associated with CPE) to the finales and a singing eloquence to the slow movements.

12th January 2020

Löffler, playing a modern copy of a period instrument, makes a creamy sound, laced with healthy vibrato...The orchestral playing is characterised throughout by extreme dynamic contrast and pointed articulative detail.
