Experience the grandeur of Baroque music at the Palas auf der Wartburg in Eisenach with the Thüringen Philharmonie Gotha-Eisenach's Barock ImPuls series, featuring the esteemed Artist in Residence, Reinhold Friedrich. This event showcases a spectacular Trompetengala, highlighting the virtuosity and versatility of Friedrich, a renowned trumpeter celebrated for his mastery across all musical styles and eras. The program includes masterpieces by Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Georg Philipp Telemann, with a special focus on Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F major, BWV 1047.

This concerto is a brilliant display of instrumental competition, featuring solo parts for flute, oboe, violin, and trumpet. The trumpet part, in particular, is known for its demanding high register and fanfare-like motifs, creating an exhilarating auditory experience. The unique F major key adds to the intrigue, with some musicologists suggesting that Bach originally intended the trumpet part for the horn. The Brandenburg Concertos, dedicated to Christian Ludwig, Margrave of Brandenburg, are a testament to Bach's ingenuity and his ability to blend multiple solo instruments into a cohesive and dynamic performance.

The event is part of the 413th Wartburg Concert, realized in collaboration with Deutschlandfunk Kultur, promising an evening of exceptional musical artistry in a historic setting.
