Robert Rother

Like Thomas, he also hails from Melk an der Donau, where they both played as children in a wind band conducted by Thomas’ pretty strict father. Polkas were on the programme, but they played waltzes and marches too. A good learning experience it seems. Robert can engender a tone that is guaranteed to bring anyone to tears. With so much longing and so much feeling.  By way of contrast to Thomas, he hardly moves on stage at all and lets the music just speak for itself.
