Friedemann Immer

Friedemann Immer is a German trumpet virtuoso who became a key figure in the revival of Baroque trumpet performance. Specializing in the natural trumpet (the valveless ancestor of modern instruments), he’s spent decades bringing historical techniques to life with fiery precision and expressive flair. Immer’s deep dive into early music led to collaborations with top period-instrument ensembles and a stack of recordings showcasing forgotten gems from composers like Bach, Telemann, and lesser-known Baroque masters.

A passionate advocate for historically informed practice, he’s not just a performer but also an educator, sharing insights into the trumpet’s role in 17th- and 18th-century music. His albums like *Baroque Trumpet Music* and *Trumpet Concertos of the Early Baroque* highlight his knack for balancing technical brilliance with the playful energy this repertoire demands. Whether blasting heroic fanfares or weaving delicate melodic lines, Immer’s work keeps the spirit of Baroque brass alive and kicking for modern ears.
