Professor Thomas Hauschild’s French horn masterclass in Leipzig presents here their second portrait-CD entitled Hubertusmesse (Mass of St. Hubertus) capturing the gently imposing nature of the Hubertusburg Castle. This name held by the representatively conceived hunting castle evokes the patron saint of the hunt, St. Hubertus, and stands committed and imposing due to the inscription of its history, greatness, and style that are indicative of a powerfully expressive as well as an impressive force.

This in turn is suggestive of horn music – the Mass of St. Hubertus by Karl Stiegler serves only as an impulse for the present recording of an instrument that is so manifestly embedded in the culture of hunting. For all the characteristics of the instrument – its signaling bellow, its powerful tone, its caressingly warm-hearted cantilenas – will be familiar to connoisseurs of the horn who appreciate its romantic character. The pleasure of presenting this current edition is found in the fulfilling of their agreeable desire of a further hearing and an extended sense of viewing the instrument.
