Berühmte Meister - Berühmte Bläser • Virtuose Bläsermusik Des Barock

Released by Columbia in 1979 under the title Berühmte Meister - Berühmte Bläser, this collection serves as a curated survey of baroque wind concertos. The recording highlights the virtuosity inherent in the compositions of the era, drawing from the Deutsche Bachsolisten and the Orchester der Brühler Schlosskonzerte. These performances were led by Helmut Winschermann and Helmut Müller-Brühl, both of whom were instrumental in the mid-century revival and scholarly interpretation of German baroque music.

The album reflects the era's interest in the sophisticated interplay between solo wind instruments and orchestral accompaniment. By organizing the program around the concept of 'virtuoso wind music,' the label aimed to showcase the technical agility of baroque woodwind and brass writing. The production maintains the high standards of mid-century classical recording practices, emphasizing clarity and period-appropriate phrasing, which were hallmarks of the ensemble work directed by Winschermann and Müller-Brühl.
