HOPE
FOR THE EUROPEAN
CLASSICAL MARKET
You,
as well as I in fact, we all have been waiting for this news
for a long time. On the horizon of the classical music market a new
guiding star is rising. The phono industry, which is no longer able
to get rid of its old discs, and will soon not be able to afford new
recordings, is breathing a sigh of relief ... cultural history is finally
getting an uplift again, for Germanys new classical composer has
arrived: his name is Peter Huebner, he exudes music from all pores,
and has recently launched 144 compact discs on the market at one go
.
Peter Huebner is not a magically irritating pseudonym for a phantom
musician, but the name of an efficient prolific musical writer. He has
everything a modern music producer needs: an agency, an electronic studio
and a web site on the Internet. This true Telemann of our time was born
in 1940 in Erfurt. A bit of a child prodigy, some musical support. At
the age of 16, his autobiography states: the encounter with classical
music, and the crucial experience, being deeply affected by it. Then
he became a composer overnight, and has remained so until this day
over a period of 1200 compact discs.
Hope for the European
classical market
By the way, a non-representative survey in record shops confirmed: many
have heard of Peter Huebner
Most sales assistants classify him
as belonging to the meditation scene, but that is not enough
by all means, for Peter Huebner is Germanys new classical composer.
Mr Huebners production has a lot to do with nature, even if it
would be hardly possible without musical electronics. First of all,
there is the meditative and music therapeutic side of his products.
The appeal for tonality and its salutary powers. Among Huebners
symphonies there are not only symphonies of the Great Stream, but also
eight planetary symphonies from Mars to Neptune.
Huebners world is multicultural, and in addition to that interreligious.
Therefore his four Christian Passions according to the gospels can be
found peacefully side by side with his music on Zenbuddhist meditation,
title: Zan.
