Description
In 2015 Philipp Matthias Kaufmann was commissioned to write an arrangement for chamber ensemble with motifs of Humperdinck’s famous opera. While the instrumentation offered a variety of possibilities soundwise, with the required 7 minutes playing time it was a challenging task for him to confine the arrangement to just a few motifs. Kaufmann chose a dramaturgic coherence for his arrangement; a “pocket-sized” instrumental fairytale was the result.
As an extract from a grand work, this arrangement does indeed have a charming impact, for Humperdinck’s ideas can stand this kind of abridgement quite easily.
