Wildes Holz
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
The trio Wildes Holz has made a name for itself by finally playing rock and pop music on »real« instruments. And these are, of course, wooden instruments! Especially the common recorder, which gives this music a very special flavour. But what is already possible with rock classics should be even more possible with the»real« classics! Wildes Holz takes on Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms and Telemann – and plays their music as if it were rock classics. And somehow they are. And the treatment with woody humour, virtuosity and a good pinch of self-irony does these works a world of good! It’s not for nothing that the trio has been playing on stages big and small in Germany for 25 years and has already become a classic in its own right.
