In Giessen, he worked with four natural horns, natural trumpets, finely tuned trombones and not least flutes made of wood instead of metal. This produced an inexhaustible wealth of acoustic colors, enabling us to sensually experience what might really be meant by the concept of "German Romanticism" on the musical level.Michael Hofstetter conducts at many well known opera houses, orchestras and festivals, include the Bavarian, the […]
