Until 2010 Heribert Breuer was professor at the
Universität der Künste Berlin.
He teached theorie of music and choral conducting. His artistic
actitivity appoints in both domains: as founder and director of the
Berliner Bach Akademie and as arranger of music from Bach, Mozart and
composers of romanticism. Meanwhile he distinguished with an immense
number of adaptations for different instrumentations. The most popular
ones are his version of the “Arpeggione-Sonate” of Franz Schubert
(violoncello, windquintet) and Bach’s “The Art of Fugue” for four
quartets. Heribert Breuer’s versions are inspired arrangements, often
supplemented by more voices and they truly reflect the spirit of the
compositions. His version of the last Contrapunctus of The Art of Fugue
was performed at the opening of the Bach-Festival Leipzig in the
Thomaskirche. Breuer's arrangement of the
Goldberg-Variations for septet
(string trio, woodwind trio and harp) was recently recorded by
Deutschlandradio Kultur.
His career as organist led him to nearly all the spanish
cathedrals. In 2016 he played in Sevilla and Malaga. The focus of his
repertoire is Johann Sebastian Bach.
Please post the notes, so we know what the poems are about.
