Daniel Behle – Heimat – 500 Jahre Heimatlieder und -gedichte (2022) [Official Digital Download 24bit/96kHz]

“Heimat” is a specifically German term that has no hundred percent equivalent in most other languages. On his 18th solo album, tenor Daniel Behle – together with german hornsound – has made a foray through music and cultural history. 29 arrangements, almost exclusively by Alexander Krampe, are united on the extensive double album; in addition, the famous German actor Mario Adorf has read ten texts on the subject.

Daniel Behle and german hornsound embark on a journey through many stations, all of which bear the inscription “home”. And they are by no means all stations, probably not even many. But at least it is a trip through many times and destinies, settings and styles, leading from Heinrich Isaac and treasures from folk songs to Romanticism and hits by Mischa Spoliansky and Theo Mackeben. At the end there could be a thought: “Whoever has home does not have to speak of it, so as not to put the happiness he has with it on the line. And the less home someone has, the more he needs it.” (Alexander Krampe)

Daniel Behle, who trained as a tenor as well as a trombonist and composer, received the OPUS Klassik as “Singer of the Year” in 2020. He is equally successful in concert, lied and opera. His repertoire ranges from baroque masterpieces, classical and romantic repertoire to 20th and 21st century compositions. The steadily growing discography – also with original compositions – includes several award-winning recordings, recently “Un-Erhört” (Lieder by R. Strauss) was awarded the „Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik”. A very special project is scheduled for the beginning of 2023: In January, his beer operetta “Hopfen und Malz”, written during the two Corona years, will have its world premiere at the Annaberg-Buchholz Theatre. Three other German opera houses have already confirmed new productions of the operetta.

The horn quartet german hornsound was founded in 2010 by four former students of Christian Lampert’s horn class at the Stuttgart University of Music and Performing Arts and has since made an international name for itself with its extraordinary profile. With new concert formats and creative programmes, the ensemble has debuted at almost all German-speaking music festivals in recent years. The quartet is particularly distinguished by the development of its own projects. After getting to know each other for the first time in 2017, Daniel Behle and german hornsound decided to jointly create a programme that would be designed as a digital format, a physical sound carrier and also a concert format.
