An evening with Friedmann Wuttke: a master of the guitar

Virtuoso Romanticism meets colorful Impressionism

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of classical guitar music with Friedmann Wuttke, one of the most important guitarists of our time. On Easter Monday, Friedemann Wuttke will juxtapose characteristic compositions from the Romantic period with Impressionist music from France, Spain and Brazil. The solo guitarist shares his appreciation of important composers with the audience and skillfully relates their musical language to one another.

Romanticism has always been one of the most fruitful eras for the concert guitar. Guitar virtuosos from the classical and romantic periods have enchanted listeners with their art of playing. Fernando Sor from Spain and Ferdinando Carulli from Italy are unforgettable. Their music breathes the spirit of Beethoven and Mozart. In the Brazilian national composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, Wuttke has found a top-class composer. Villa-Lobos has combined the tonal language of Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy and the counterpoint of Johann Sebastian Bach with the music of his homeland in an important work.

And not only that. The Brazilian has revolutionized the sound spectrum of the instrument with new playing techniques. For a long time, his technical demands were considered unplayable. Friedemann Wuttke repeatedly demonstrates his unerring instinct for original program design. As a seeker, he looks around the world for important national impressionist composers and pairs their works with those of important composers from the Romantic period. His instrumental and musical qualities, which meet the highest standards, and his infectious enthusiasm make his concerts unforgettable experiences.

You can look forward to an extraordinary concert in the parish church of St. Agatha, which is unparalleled in its virtuosity and variety of sound and color.
