Robert Wolf | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

“The applause continues, even some cheers can be heard: definitely get out again, take a grateful bow! And present some more? Something full of verve and vigor to increase the enthusiasm even more? Or would you prefer something calm and soothing for the soul?” – Although encores have certainly not been at the heart of musical performances, they are most often an integral part during the conception stage of a concert evening’s program. As sort of an encore to his lifetime’s achievements, Robert Wolf, who was principal flute player of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra for almost 40 years, and his daughter Agnes Wolf, piano, pay tribute to the wide range of encore pieces from his many years of concert activity on the present CD “ENCORE”. In addition to original works by W.A. Mozart, M. Blavet, C. Debussy, M. Ravel and J.S. Bach, there are also arrangements of well-known pieces by C.W. Gluck, F. Schubert, D. Shostakovich, G. Fauré and J. Lanner, among others.
