The album Oh Mensch! by the well-known world-class trumpeter Reinhold Friedrich and the Essen cathedral organist Sebastian Küchler-Blessing is a far cry from the usual popular instrumentation of trumpet and organ. Here, the two place contemporary works written in response to the horrors of the Third Reich in dialogue with arrangements of works from the Romantic period. In view of the war atrocities that are unfortunately happening again on European soil, "Oh Mensch, gib Acht!" has probably rarely been of sadder topicality.
