Ludwig Güttler is a celebrated German trumpeter and conductor known for his mastery of Baroque and classical music, particularly on historical instruments like the corno da caccia and natural trumpet. Born in 1943 in Sosa, Germany, he’s been a key figure in reviving early music traditions, especially through his ensemble *Virtuosi Saxoniae*, which he founded in 1986. Güttler’s crisp, lyrical playing and dedication to authenticity shine in recordings like *J.S. Bach: Johannes Passion* and *M. Haydn: Serenade in D Major*, blending technical precision with emotional depth. He’s also a champion of festive music, as heard in his cozy Christmas albums (*Sächsische Weihnacht*, *Stille Nacht*) and projects celebrating cultural heritage, like *Luther in der Musik*. Beyond performing, Güttler played a pivotal role in restoring Dresden’s Frauenkirche after reunification, cementing his legacy as both an artist and a cultural advocate.
