The rich variety of the current classical music scene was echoed in the awards presented to UMG artists. Harpist Magdalena Hoffmann was named a “Young Talent of the Year“ for her Deutsche Grammophon debut 'Nightscapes', while fellow DG artist Albrecht Mayer won “Concerto Recording of the Year“ for his chart-topping 'Mozart' album. “The wonderful range and diversity of the recordings recognised at the OPUS KLASSIK 2022 awards show just how genre-defying and all-embracing classical music has become,” says Dr Clemens Trautmann, President Deutsche Grammophon. Enjoy this captivating performance by Magdalena Hoffmann and Albrecht Mayer of Mozart's Konzert für Oboe & Harfe: Andantino Live from OPUS Klassik 2022 accompanied by the Konzerthausorchester Berlin under the baton of Krzysztof Urbański. Magdalena Hoffmann Conventions have never prevented German harpist Magdalena Hoffmann from following her creative instincts. She inspires audiences of all ages as recitalist, chamber musician, orchestral player, educator and animateur, her virtuosity on the modern concert harp supported by her understanding of the instrument’s long history. Whether performing as principal harp of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, exploring a rich recital repertoire, devising projects involving theatre and the visual arts, or creating absurd sketches, she is above all a supremely gifted communicator. “The harp has always been the poet’s and the storyteller’s instrument,” she notes. “It’s a wonderful vessel for adventures of the imagination.” Listen to her album 'Nightscapes' here: Albrecht Mayer Albrecht Mayer has lived with Mozart’s music for almost half a century. His encounters with the composer began while he was a boy soprano in the Bamberg Cathedral Choir and have multiplied over the course of his international career. The 55-year-old German oboist has waited until now, however, to record his first all-Mozart album, a personal and affectionate tribute to one of the greatest composers who ever lived. Mayer’s album, made in partnership with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and harpsichordist Vital Julian Frey, was recorded this summer in the warm acoustics of the Church of St Cosmas and St Damian in Lower Saxony.
