Anne-Kathrin Gerbeth
& Bernhard Dolch
formed
the
D
UO
G
UITARTES
after
the
two
of
them
had
already
enjoyed
international
success
as
soloists,
numbering
among
the
few
German
guitarists
of
their
generation
to
win
prizes in notable competitions.
They
were
awarded
diplomas
in
the
classes
of
Carlo
Marchione,
Joaquín
Clerch
and
Tadashi
Sasaki,
were
taught
above
and
beyond
their
university
studies
by
lutenist
Paul
O’Dette
and
Eberhard
Feltz
–
mentor
of
the
Kuss-
and
Vogler-Quartets
–
and
have
also
made
an
intensive
study
of
historically
informed
performance practice.
D
UO
G
UITARTES
was
founded
out
of
their
desire
to
leave
the
beaten
track
and
make
a
serious
contribution
to
expanding
the
repertoire
for
guitar.
They
work
intensively
at
arranging
major
as
well
as
lesser
known
works
of
previous
epochs,
in
order
to
convey
the
vibrancy
and
emotional
depth
of
this
music
in
a
historically
informed
way,
using
the
possibilities
of
modern
instrumental
technique
to
awaken
it
to
new
life.
As
a
result
of
these
aspirations
several
arrangements
("
…
that
you
might
think
that
a
long
lost
manuscript
of
guitar
duets
by
Purcell
had
turned
up.

and
new
sheet
music
editions
have
been
published
by
Universal
Edition,
Ricordi-London,
Acoustic
Music Books, Edition49, Da Vinci Publishing and Joachim-Trekel-Musikverlag.
A
further
significant
concern
has
been
to
inspire
new
compositions,
in
order
that
several
of
today‘s
most
influential
composers
(including
Joseph
Phibbs,
recently
dubbed
"
one
of
the
most
successful
composers
of
his
generation
"
by
BBC
Music
Magazine)
have
dedicated
fascinating
new works to them.
In
the
course
of
their
concert
activity,
they
have
performed
in
famous
concert
halls
like
the
Berlin
Philharmonie
and
at
renowned
chamber
music
and
guitar
festivals
all
around
the
world.
For
each
new
season,
D
UO
G
UITARTES
is
creating
programmes
devoted
to
ever
changing
musical
themes
such
as
"Gluck
and
Neoclassicism",
"Heaven
and
Earth
–
music
in
the
field
of
tension
between
spirituality
and
secualrity",
"Pre-Classical and High Baroque", "Per aspera ad astra" …
Anne-Kathrin
Gerbeth
and
Bernhard
Dolch
both
teach
at
the
University
in
Cottbus
(BTU)
and
have
taught
as
visiting
professors
and
guest
lecturers in Europe and Asia. Graduates from their classes have gone on to win prizes at international competitions.
"Their
musical
interplay,
the
richness
in
tone
colours
and
the emotional depth are on the highest level. Chapeau!"
