Abel/ Rumpf - A Mandolin's Guide to Hamburg

Florian Klaus Rumpf's new release A Mandolin's Guide to Hamburg showcases music as lively and impressive as the port city in northern Germany. Florian Klaus Rumpf decided to put the mandolin at the center of his life at the age of seven. He studied under Professor Caterina Lichtenberg, Valerij Kisseljow, and Silke Lisko at the Wuppertal campus of the Academy for Music and Dance in Cologne (Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln). His solo work has focused on the versatility of the mandolin - from baroque mandolins through to the octave mandolin and liuto cantabile. Florian Klaus Rumpf works with composers, composes pieces himself, does research, and arranges in order to ensure that the literature for this array of instruments is constantly expanding.
