Our Take

The latest collaboration between Christoph Ess, Sonja Gornik, and the Sinfonieorchester Aachen, conducting by the one and only Christopher Ward, is a horn-tastic journey through the works of Richard Strauss. Titled "Golden Horizon," this album brings together a dynamic blend of classical expertise and a refreshing contemporary twist.

From the moment the first notes of Strauss's famous compositions fill the air, you can't help but feel transported to a world where the horn reigns supreme. Ess and Gornik's chemistry is undeniable, their seamless harmonies blending perfectly with the lush orchestral arrangements.

Ward's direction brings a sense of urgency and excitement to each track, pushing the performers to new heights and delivering a truly electrifying listening experience. The Sinfonieorchester Aachen is the perfect accompaniment, hitting every note with precision and flair.

Standout tracks like "Horn Concerto No. 1 in E-flat Major" and "Andante for Horn and Piano" showcase the virtuosity of the performers, while also highlighting the emotional depth of Strauss's compositions. Each track seems to build upon the last, creating a sense of momentum that propels the listener forward on an exhilarating musical journey.

Overall, "Golden Horizon" is a triumph of classical music, proving that the horn is a force to be reckoned with in the world of orchestral music. Ess, Gornik, and the Sinfonieorchester Aachen have truly outdone themselves with this album, solidifying their places as masters of their craft. This is a must-listen for any music lover looking to expand their horizons and indulge in the beauty of Strauss's timeless creations.
