Press Reviews
Fränkische Nachrichten
Both artists performed in perfect harmony and understanding for their instruments and each other, a synthesis of technical and musical maturity which distinguishes both artists. The church had an effect here as an ideal „acoustic“ which made the motto of the evening understandable: „This sounds so wonderful“. Heike Nicodemus and Maximilian Mangold gave a melodious answer to how the music of Mozart might have really sounded at his time.
Badische Zeitung
A perfect polished gem was the chamber music evening and accordingly high-carat was the cast with Maximilian Mangold as a master of the historical guitar and Heike Nicodemus with virtuoso play on the flute. All facets of love spilled out of the two historical instruments in the opera arias from 'Don Giovanni'. Swarming, dreamy, stormy and then sparkling like champagne, they breathed life into the stage. The joy of the music and the amazement of the beautiful sound were transmitted to the listeners, who seemed to hold their breath.
Dorstener Zeitung
Although flute and guitar are not typical Mozart occupations, one could look forward to the arrangements. Important compositions are indestructible, transcriptions can even make them appear in new splendor. The classical instruments - copies of originals from 1786 and 1840 - brought the musical extract of the works to light in unheard timbres. M. Mangold shone solo in the arrangements of the guitar virtuoso Fernando Sor. Enchanting the richness of sound even when changing with flageolette tones. Mozart's second most famous piano sonata became a special event: Heike Nicodemus worked out the melodic variations, which can become more and more obscure in the original piano arrangement, very impressively, sensitively supported by the guitar. That the Turkish march softened, emphasized the melancholy content of the thrilling a-minor melody.
