"Versteht sich, dass praktisch jeder Ton „saß“, dass mit Flügelhorn und Piccolotrompete Zusatzregistrierungen erzeugt wurden, und dass trotz Daueraktion in technischen Grenzbereichen das Klangpanorama stets seine „Fassung“ bewahrte."
Ms. Fessler’s arrangement of the adagio from Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, with Fessler herself as the soloist. Her work was again both beautiful and technically impressive."
Die junge Trompeterin Elisabeth Fessler führte sich mit einer Bläser-Adaption der berühmten Arie der Königin der Nacht aus Mozarts „Zauberflöte“ ein und glänzte mit strahlenden Koloraturen sowie perlenden Triolen.
"Wer glaubte, die Arie der Königin der Nacht aus Mozarts „Zauberflöte“ könne nur von einer Koloratursopranistin interpretiert werden, wurde von Fessler eines Besseren belehrt: Ihre Trompete „sang“ überzeugend von „der Hölle Rache“. Der Beifall ließ nicht auf sich warten."
"There was a great deal to enjoy in their concert, which began with a dazzling performance of one of the allegro movements from Vivaldi’s Concerto for Two Trumpets (RV 357), in an arrangement by Hans Zellner. Zellner and Fessler were the excellent soloists, both playing piccolo trumpets."
"Hier zeigte sich Elisabeth Fessler in Bestform und legte viel Gefühl in ihr Trompetenspiel, das verführerisch und locker leicht daherkam und damit die Ohrwurmqualität des Songs auf die Spitze trieb."
"Elisabeth Fessler, die (...) gleich zu Beginn des Abends im Concerto in D von Giuseppe Torelli als Solistin glänzen durfte."
"At the time of this concert, the four men in the ensemble ranged in age from 39 to 50, while the one woman, the brilliant trumpeter Elisabeth Fessler is a mere 28."

Trumpet player Elisabeth Fessler (Germany, Harmonic Brass Quintet, Staatl. Hochschule für Musik Trossingen) and Trombonist Cristian Ganicenco, (Principal, Cincinnati Symphony and Cincinnati Pops), introduce you to creative and effective ways of playing chamber music. They have set out to prove that playing chamber music has no boundaries, musically or geographically.

All musicians hold the key to becoming their own success story, and they will share with you step-by-step instructions on how to develop and improve your technique and musicianship with the help of chamber music and technology. The masterclasses cover a wide range of topics, including how to master your own instruments with efficient practicing techniques, how to spot and fix technical problems and be in complete control of your progress, and how to use the digital audio workstation Pro Tools to do either room as well as multitrack recordings. They will demonstrate how to create music with a loop station, how to record yourself (multi-tracking), and how to play and record chamber music with anyone around the globe from the comfort of your own home. Students will participate in a recording project at the end of the masterclass. https://www.youtube.com/embed/I0iFPbydYmQ
Expanding on the multitrack recordings, they introduced a live loop station recital program called “Loop the classics”, with brand new arrangements and original pieces by themselves. With Canon by Johann Pachelbel, Dido’s Lament by Henry Purcell, Libertango by Astor Piazolla as well as their own composition for Loop Station, trumpet and trombone, they created something new in the world of classical music. https://www.youtube.com/embed/idoNpBNJHi0
Elisabeth and Cristian tour the world as soloists. Their repertoire includes original pieces for trumpet and trombone with piano, wind ensemble, or orchestra accompaniment as well as own compositions and arrangements for trumpet and trombone with loop station and solo pieces for each instrument.
