Salongespräch mit Musik: Markus Kreul trifft Stofferl Well

Christoph Well is a legend of Bavarian folk music. Together with his siblings, «Stofferl» has shaped folk music in Bavaria in a distinctive way and freed it from its old mustiness – lively, virtuosic and always with a fine sense for biting satire. He also shone as an exceptional classical musician and – free of any fear of genre boundaries – with «La Brass Banda» at the Rapp. In the Festsaal, Stofferl Well tells Markus Kreul about his committed and eventful life and, in the finest tradition of «Kraft der Musik», performs live with the moderator and pianist. Born in 1959 in Günzlhofen as the 14th of 15 children of a music-loving teacher's family, Christoph Well took the stage for the first time at the age of three. Making music was part of the family DNA, and Stofferl's particularly pronounced musical talent earned him – according to his siblings – even the odd extra helping at family meals.
