About

This new CD from Tilman Hoppstock presents works in the form of "Variations", as well as many others, such as the "Double", Passacaglia", "Mutazione" or "Capriccio". Variation means change, and especially in the realm of tones, this is a particularly popular means of creating developments. This recording reflects the compositional development of the variation structure through the ages.

Beginning with compositions from the Baroque period with Froberger, Buxtehude and Bach, we move through the Classical period with Beethoven, Carulli and Matiegka to Romantic guitar music by Willcocks and Tansman. In The Garden of Dreams by contemporary composer Karl-Wieland Kurz, the modern "Variation" is developed over a Renaissance theme.

Tilman Hoppstock (b. 1961) is highly acclaimed in the classical guitar scene and has been performing for three decades. As a concert soloist, recitalist and teacher of masterclasses he has been invited to places like Paris, Amsterdam, London, Athens, Jerusalem, Ankara, Kiev, Casablanca, San Francisco, New York, Toronto, Tokyo, Mexico-City und Singapore.

Invitations to international music festivals in Europe and overseas, as well as to the London Royal Academy, the Manhattan School of Music (New York) and the University of South California (Los Angeles), have been further highlights of his multifaceted career. In addition to his live performances, the artist has recorded more than a 25 CDs which have been received enthusiastically by the press.
