Simon Hofele, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Geoffrey Paterson/Ilan Volkov - Nobody Knows

One of the most versatile trumpeters in theclassical world, Simon H�fele, releases a newalbum �Nobody Knows� together with the BBCSymphony Orchestra under Geoffrey Patersonand Ilan Volkov. On his 4th album on BerlinClassics he plays the trumpet concertos by BerndAlois Zimmermann, Christian Jost and ToshioHosokawa, spanning an arc from the 20th to the21st century and proves once again that thetrumpet can do more than just shine. �Thesethree works are really important to me. I haveplayed all three before and I was alwaysfascinated by their darkness.�, he explains hischoice of repertoire. �This is heavy, almostdepressive music, and that applies to all three ofthese works. This is heavy music in two respects:loaded with gloom, and also not at all easy toplay. The is a definitive political message to�Nobody Knows de Trouble I see�, which makes iteven more fascinating.�
