About

Hans Maier builds bridges from the 17th century to the present. He plays music by Girolamo Frescobaldi, Johann Jakob Froberger and Domenico Zipoli on the accordion, a still young instrument; he uses a historical tuning system, the meantone tuning.

This not only lets the music of the early Baroque shine in its own colours: the composer Nikolaus Brass was also inspired by the juxtaposition of perfectly pure and very tense harmonies. He dealt extensively with the meantone tempered accordion and has written several works for the instrument played by Hans Maier. Two of them – Harmonie and Figuren der Sehnsucht – are part of the programme of this CD, which shows Hans Maier as a stylistically versatile and adaptable interpreter.
