Christoph Reuter - Mozart Improvised (2020)

When the horn player Juri de Marco and the pianist Christoph Reuter met for the first time as scholarship holders from the Alfred Töpfer Foundation on the enchanted Gut Siggen on the Baltic Sea coast, the magic of the musical encounter was palpable. Both artists were on the same wavelength and improvised until late at night. They love the music between the recorded and improvised world. Now this unique musical collaboration gets its first album production. Mozart's famous Horn Concerto No.2 was selected. One of the most emotional horn passages for Juri de Marco is in the middle of the first movement. When the musicians improvised about it for the first time in a concert, they realized that only this horn concerto could be the focus of their first studio production. Mozart improvised.
