About

The violin, the cello and the piano are blessed with an immense wealth of concertante works from all eras.

For the composer Fabian Muller (*1964), it was therefore particularly appealing to write solo concertos for two instruments that tend to be neglected in classical music represented here on this new recording: Concertos for Pan flute and Heckelphone, Taranis for large orchestra. The sound of the heckelphone in particular is probably only familiar to a few.

There are instruments which, despite their great potential in terms of expressiveness and tonal possibilities, have not been able to establish themselves in the classical concert. These include the pan flute as well as the heckelphone. With just over a hundred instruments in existence worldwide, the latter has its place above all in the great opera houses, where it shines with marvellous solos in operas by Richard Strauss, but also in his Alpine Symphony.

With Hanspeter Oggier, pan flute, and Martin Frutiger, heckelphone, Switzerland has two of the world's most outstanding soloists.

This CD features the first recordings of two concertos for these instruments. It also includes Taranis, a symphonic work for large orchestra inspired by Alpine nature, performed by the Royal Czech Symphonia Hradec Kralove under the direction of chief conductor Kaspar Zehnder.
