Josef Kämpfer was a cavalry officer in the Hungarian army. A self-taught double bass virtuoso, he led a nomadic life, moving through musical circles at the highest levels in Austria, Germany, Paris, London and St. Petersburg. His specially-made and extra large instrument was known as 'Goliath' and it astonished audiences wherever he performed. His star burned brightly but mysteriously Kämpfer, his compositions and Goliath vanish from the musical scene as quickly as they had burst onto it. It is thought that he ended his days as an Imperial Court musician at the Bolshoi Theatre in St. Petersburg. This fascinating and somewhat shadowy figure from the 18th century musical world is brought to life by Russian double bassist Grigory Krotenko on this skillfully curated album featuring Mozart's delightful concert aria 'Per Questa bella man' for baritone, double bass and orchestra alongside works by Hoffmeister, Sperger and Vanhal.
