Duo GlossArte: perfect interplay of trombone and organ
"In the duo compositions, Juan González Martínez and Lea Suter prove to be stylistically confident and virtuoso performers."
Sebastian Krause - Trombonist with the MDR Symphony Orchestra and lecturer, IPV-Printjournal No. 62, Summer 2022, Volume 17
Upcoming concerts
Played on historical instruments and replicas
Inspired by the art of musical ornamentation, the young musicians have set themselves the goal of researching and playing the literature for historical trombone, organ and harpsichord or their replicas.
The ensemble recorded its first CD in 2021 with several premiere recordings on the historic Sauer organ (1928) of the Bremen Konzerthaus, together with a historic Franz Kuhn trombone (1920) on the Dabringhaus & Grimm label. These are not only the first recordings of these works, but also the first recordings with the original preserved romantic instruments. The CD was nominated for the German Record Critics' Award. They have performed in prominent concert halls such as the Historische Stadthalle in Wuppertal, Die Glocke and Sendesaal in Bremen, as well as on historically relevant organs such as the Sauer organ in St. Michael's Church in Leipzig, the Furtwängler & Hammer organ in St. Nicolai Church in Lüneburg and the Goll organ in the Kollegiumskirche Schwyz.
Through their preoccupation with early classical music and the Empfindsame style, the duo has performed numerous solo concerts by C.P.E. Bach, L. Mozart, J. G. Albrechtsberger and G. C. Wagenseil with baroque orchestras such as the Göttinger Barockorchester and the Elbipolis Barockorchester throughout northern Germany.
In 2022, GlossArte was selected as an up-and-coming ensemble by Neustart Kultur, and at the same time the individual musicians were awarded scholarships from the German Orchestra Foundation and PE-Förderungen.
"The extensive study of historical performance practice, especially of the Romantic period, can be seen in many details, which are executed with meticulousness, but without interrupting the phrasing, the tension arcs and the musical flow."
Sebastian Krause - Trombonist with the MDR Symphony Orchestra and lecturer, IPV-Printjournal No. 62, Summer 2022, Volume 17
"It was thanks to the qualities of the young soloist Juan González Martínez in his interplay with Lea Suter on the organ, as well as his enthusiastic quartet colleagues, that this experience came about."
Andreas Mössinger - Lecturer, freelance trombonist. Concert on April 6, 2022 in the Historische Stadthalle of Wuppertal, IPV-Printjournal No. 62, Summer 2022, 17th year
Sauer Organ & Kuhn Trombone
When speaking of historically informed performance practice, one often refers to baroque music. The fact that musical instruments became louder and louder in the 20th century, as well as more and more brilliant and higher by raising the pitch of the voice (from about a' 435 Hz to 443 Hz), raises the question of historically informed performance practice in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
In the past year GlossArte has intensively dealt with this period and, after extensive research, gained deeper insights. This has resulted in a CD, including first recordings of various works on the historic Sauer organ (1928) of the Bremen Konzerthaus, recorded together with the historic Franz Kuhn trombone (1920) on the Dabringhaus & Grimm label (release 2022). These are not only works recorded for the first time, but also original preserved historical instruments recorded as a duo for the first time. The CD was nominated for the German Record Critics' Award immediately after its release.
