Klaus Wallendorf is a revered horn player renowned for his mastery of both the modern French horn and its historical counterpart, the natural horn. Born in Germany, Wallendorf's extensive musical journey led him to become a prominent member of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the world's most prestigious musical ensembles. His career has been marked by both solo and ensemble performances, exploring a vast repertoire that spans from classical to contemporary works.

Wallendorf is particularly known for his passion for bringing lesser-known compositions to the fore, which is reflected in his recent recordings. His interpretation of Sándor Balogh's "The Bremen Town Musicians" showcases his flair for narrative and musical storytelling, even engaging non-German speaking audiences with a narrated version in Japanese. He continues to celebrate the works of 18th-century composer Antonio Rosetti with albums such as "Rosetti: Horn Concertos" and "Rosetti: Concertos for 2 Horns," bringing the intricate and lyrical qualities of Rosetti's compositions to a modern audience. As a member of Die Bremer Blechmusikanten, Wallendorf's virtuosity is on display within a chamber music setting, offering a rich and intimate listening experience that highlights his remarkable artistry and enduring contribution to brass music.
