Juri Tetzlaff and ProFive - The Southern German Brass Soloists: HÄNSEL UND GRETEL

E. Humperdinck: Hänsel und Gretel
- With new texts by Juri Tetzlaff! -

Cheerful Classical Music

Juri Tetzlaff and ProFive have once again joined forces to interpret the fairy tale Hänsel und Gretel in their lively style. This time, they deliver an exciting and child-friendly musical adventure. Juri Tetzlaff refreshingly and casually narrates his version of the story, fearlessly singing along with the opera's most beloved children's songs. He is professionally supported by ProFive - the Southern German Brass Soloists. In the skillful arrangement for brass quintet by Prof. Eberhard Buschmann, these five woodwind players shine with rich sound, nuanced phrasing, musical fun, and catchy ensemble playing.

To actively engage young listeners in the story, the songs are printed in the lovingly designed CD booklet. As an added bonus, attentive listeners will find a small game with cut-out figures. This allows young listeners to wonderfully rediscover and experience classical music and the 'old' fairy tale in a new way.

PROFIVE - The Southern German Brass Soloists are all professors at German music universities: Hermann Klemeyer (flute), Jochen Müller-Brincken (oboe), and Albrecht Holder (bassoon) in Würzburg, Manfred Lindner (clarinet) in Essen, and Jan Schroeder (horn) in Hannover. In addition to their teaching activities, the musicians are also active as soloists and in other chamber music ensembles (including Consortium Classicum, Ensemble Villa Musica, Residenz-Quintett München). However, in the exclusive top ensemble PROFIVE, they always find the symbiosis of professional fidelity to the work and exuberant joy of playing. This is the special secret that ignites the famous spark at every concert from the very first note!

"... We want to make classical music accessible and understandable for children. That is our responsibility and our cultural mission."
