Andreas Ottensamer I – “Gassenhauer” Beethoven 250 – Gabetta & Lazić
Chamber Music
Tuesday, 26 July 2022
7.30 pm, Zweisimmen Church
He has not missed a Festival edition since his first visit in 2016, back then together with his father Ernst and brother Daniel as part of the trio “The Clarinotts”. A star soloist of the Berlin Philharmonic and an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist, Andreas Ottensamer, who has also been Menuhin's Heritage Artist since 2017 and won the Neeme Järvi Prize (for conducting!) in 2021, will stay for four concerts this summer in a residency that he has tailored to his personality: decisively open and multicoloured. The first “classical” part will feature Beethoven's “Gassenhauer” Trio (whose name evokes the melodies whistled by passers-by in the streets) and Brahms' sublime Trio (which was inspired in his later life by the spellbinding playing of the German composer's friend Richard Mühlfeld).
