The title of this CD – “Recital” – and the list of composers represented on it, including Bach, Mozart and Debussy, might lead one to believe that we have a solo program of a “classical” instrument here. Surprisingly, however, we have a completely different instrument – one which is normally never connected with classical music or chamber music recitals – the pan flute! The transcriptions presented on this recording enable the listener to perceive classic compositions of many eras in a fascinating new light. But the most recent work in this collection is an original composition for pan flute – Harald Genzmer’s Sonata for Solo Pan Flute, written and dedicated to Ulrich Herkenhoff in 1993.

For years, Ulrich Herkenhoff has paved the way for the pan flute in classical concert halls, freeing it from the one-sided cliché that it is only a “folklore instrument”. Herkenhoff studied flute and pan flute at the Munich Richard Strauss Conservatory, graduating with a degree in pan flute. Today, he is an inter-nationally renowned soloist. His audiences have the greatest appreciation for his interpretations, which display his profound understanding of and sensitivity for both the folkloristic roots of his instrument as well as classical art music.
