Hermann Hudde
Classical Guitarist
From the critics
 
He possesses a great intellect and confidence in the performance of his instrument, powerful sound, and shapes the pieces of music that he performs at the highest level. Listening to him in his two successful CD recordings, Iberoamérica and Trivium has been for me a magnificent experience.
 
Adolfo Vidal - Concert Pianist
 
 
I could tell Hudde enjoyed playing it. The little waltz of the second movement lilts the listener into peaceful abandon. The guitarist’s transitions between the strong, punctuated chords and the wonderful melodies in the last movement were so delightfully schizophrenic, it was as if two different guitarists were competing for the limelight. I didn’t want this piece to end...The piece is hard, both technically and interpretively, but Hudde performs the difficult and adventurous passages with passionate depth. By a less talented performer, it would fall flat. One must be an expert in technique, yes, but one must also have soul. Hudde really gets that.

I have observed Hermann in performance as a classical guitarist, his primary focus in music.

This program could make a fine recital: three interesting guitar sonatas, coming from the great axis of guitar music - Spain and Latin America...Ponce's sonata is played beautifully...and I can't say anything about Brouwer, because the music really enthralls me every time. It's, like, wow.

Hermann's success in the guitar stemmed from his ability to draw on his refined artistic skills. Hermann is an excellent performer, public presenter and advocate for the importance of authentic, comprehensive and interdisciplinary music

Hermann Hudde is a wonderful musician. His playing and choice of composers is highly personal, intimate and emotive and transports the listener successfully to another sphere. His timing and dynamics are very tasteful, full of passion, yet not over the top and reward repeated listening. Hechoses often very challenging pieces that satisfy on a compositional, artistic and emotional level.
 
Tim Lukas, composer/producer
 
 
Hermann Hudde is a wonderful musician who conveys a very personal and poignant approach to music. Hermann's Brouwer Sonata made me feel as if Mr. Brouwer himself was performing! I sincerely appreciate everyone of Hermann's performances.

Hermann Hudde is a talent of a new generation of Venezuelans guitarists, who has all the qualifications to be in a place of honor, because of his dedication and music skills.

Dear Mr. Hudde. You gave me an enormous surprise. You and your chamber music partners have wonderfully recorded my piece of music Trivium.

"It’s nice to see the three pieces by Rubén’s late father, which I published with Universal Edition 19 (!) years ago. He is rarely remembered now, but as he was a modest man I don’t suppose he feels badly about it!. Minimalism is not my favourite musical idiom, but on hearing Trivium my worst fears proved groundless!. Trivium is a delightful piece with a contemplative stillness that is very north European - not least that of Finland". With my very best wishes, Sincerely, John Duarte

"A CD mit viel Licht und vereinzelten Kritikpunkten. Das Titelstück jedoch belohnt ein Hineinhören allemal!".

"Vielmehr stellt sich Hermann Hudde mit einem aus tiefster Überzeugung zusammengestellten Programm vor und präsentiert sich dabei als ein Musiker, der es schafft, seine Zuhörer in ihrem tiefsten Inneren zu berühren...Ein mehr als gelungenes Debut!"
