Stefan Temmingh (recorder) and Axel Wolf (lute) in “The Brocken Melody”

Thursday, 28 February 2013 

Odeion

19:30

Stefan Temmingh is part of the young generation of world-class recorder players. About his debut CD “Corelli à la mode” an Italian reviewer wrote: “Never before did recorder playing sound so effortless and so differentiated in terms of timbre and dynamics.”  - Corriere della Sera (Milano).   Published by the German label Oehms Classics, the recording was celebrated by the international music press in 2009.  His second CD “The Gentleman’s Flute” was immediately nominated for the International Classical Music Awards 2011 (formerly MIDEM Awards).  Since then Stefan is regularly compared to the legendary Frans Brüggen.  Stefan comes from a Dutch-South-African family of musicians. He was born in 1978 (Cape Town) and now lives in Munich.  There he studied with Markus Zahnhausen as well as with Prof. Michael Schneider (Frankfurt). As a specialist in Early Music performance, his repertoire comprises the complete Baroque literature for recorder.  As a soloist he regularly performs with orchestras such as the Folkwang Chamber Orchestra Essen, the Hofkapelle Muenchen, the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra and at the Ludwigsburg Festival. He has participated in recordings for Harmonia Mundi, Oehms Classics, Christophorus Records, the Southwest German and the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporations.  His commitment ranges from Baroque to Modern music. One of his strongest desires is to extend the boundaries of the recorder repertoire and he succeeds to surpass the usual stereotypes concerning his instrument.   In 2008 he was awarded the Contemporary Music Scholarship of the City of Munich.  Since 2010 he has a lectureship at the Munich College of Music.

Axel Wolf is a freelance musician who lives in Bavaria (Germany). He travels to international festivals in Bruges, Utrecht, Edinburgh, Tokyo and New York, both as a soloist or member of ensembles including Musica Fiata (Cologne), the Freiburger Barockorchester, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and The English Concert.  He has been a regular guest at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, performing under the direction of Ivor Bolton, Harry Bicket and Christopher Moulds.  He completed his guitar and lute studies with Hans Michael Koch and continued it with Rolf Lislevand.  He has worked with conductors such as Peter Schreier, Enoch zu Guttenberg, Alan Curtis, Paul McCreesh and Joshua Rifkin in opera, concert and CD productions.  He was a lecturer at the Academy of Music and Theater Hanover (1986 - 2003).  In addition to numerous CD productions as a continuo player and accompanist, he has released solo recordings of the lute works of Johann Sebastian Bach, “Opera for Lute”.
