A warm welcome to everybody visiting my homepage!

Today, I would like to introduce you to a couple of my recent and current recording projects: My new CD with concerts for cello by Robert Schumann and his contemporary Robert Volkmann (1815-1883) was published not long ago. This recording was produced last year with my brother Peter Bruns as soloist and me conducting the Mendelssohn Kammerorchester Leipzig. The reviews so far have been quite praiseful, referring to it as "benchmark recording"... Very well received has also been the highly amusing CD "Der Bürger als Edel- mann" by Molière / Strauss with the late Eberhard Esche and Dieter Mann, two very popular German actors. The CD was recorded with the Kammersymphonie Berlin in the 1990s and hasn‘t lost any of its timeless charm.
With the KOS Ljubljana in Slovenia I recorded for CD release five world premieres after a concert at the Bled-Festival. At the beginning of this year I made a recording with the Slovenian Philharmonic and their Choir of works by the composer Marko Mihevc. Both CDs will be released shortly.

Since last summer, an artistic documentary is shown at the visitor‘s centre of the North Cape in Norway, featuring music by Atle Halstensen that was recorded in cooperation with Deutschlandradio Kultur by the Kammersymphonie Berlin conducted by me

This spring, the film "Veda" (a movie on Kemal Atatürk, that was enthusiastically received on its premiere in Istanbul) will be shown in German cinemas featuring a soundtrack by the composer Henning Schmiedt, which I conducted.

From next season on, I will be chief conductor of ECCO, the European Composers Community Orchestra. I am very much looking forward to this kind of work as at least ten concerts in at least five countries are scheduled per season.

I would be pleased very much to welcome you in one or more of my concerts
