At the tender age of nine, Felix Klieser dreamed of being able to play Mozart s horn concertos. Today, 18 years later, that dream has finally come true and Felix Klieser now performs on the world's foremost concert stages, playing the very works which are part of any horn player's core repertoire. Yet he took his time before recording all four of Mozart's horn concertos: only after releasing three successful CD albums and winning an ECHO Klassik award and the Leonard Bernstein Award did he go to Salzburg, in September 2018, to record them with the famous Camerata Salzburg ensemble. The album will be released on March 15, 2019 Horn player Felix Klieser (born 1991) is an exceptional artist in every respect. He began learning to play the horn at the age of five. When he was seventeen he was a juvenile student at the College of Music and Drama in Hanover. Felix Klieser plays the valves of his horn with the toes of his left foot, having been born without arms. No easy task, one might think, but Felix Klieser sees this deficiency not as a burden but as a challenge.Since its formation, the CAMERATA has been a regular ensemble in its home city of Salzburg as a concert and opera orchestra at the Salzburg Festival as well as the Mozart Week, and has its own subscription series at the Great Hall of the Mozarteum Foundation.
