Horea Crishan with Alexander Gorlenko

Horea Crishan was born in Sibiu, Romania.

After completing his state examination as a violinist at the Music Academy in Bucharest, he moved to the Federal Republic of Germany.

Horea Crishan was a violinist with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra in Hamburg. Hundreds of concerts in numerous countries with the world’s most famous conductors and soloists have made him an orchestral musician with heart and soul.

Horea Crishan began studying the pan flute in 1979 while on tour with the orchestra in the USA.

By ingeniously combining the highest philharmonic precision with the instinctive, evocative power of the music, Crishan has developed a style of his own that has never been heard before.

He enchants his audience with the temperament and romance of his music and with his rousing melodies. He succeeds in lending every festive occasion a very special charm.

Today, Horea Crishan is one of the leading panpipe soloists.

A true natural talent that James Last, Eugen Cicero and others quickly discovered for themselves. “The pan flute,” says Horea Crishan, “opens up a whole world of emotions and all dimensions of music.”

Horea Crishan has performed as a panpipe soloist with the well-known jazz pianist Eugen Cicero, the large Alfred Hause Promenade Orchestra, with whom he toured Japan for many years, and the world-famous James Last Orchestra. His wide-ranging repertoire includes folklore, entertainment and classical music. Horea Crishan is a much sought-after soloist at gala concerts and on cruise ships such as M.S Europa, M.S. Deutschland, M.S. Amadea, M.S. Astor and M.S. Bremen. Horea Crishan plays on panpipes made by Gheorghe Georgescu, one of the world’s best and most famous panpipe makers.

Of his numerous recordings for Intercord and Polydor, his greatest success was “Bird of Paradise” with the James Last Orchestra. In the summer of 2007, he last recorded James Last’s compositions for a new Constantin movie.

He uses pan flutes made by Gheorge Georgescu, one of the world’s best and most famous master builder of pan flutes.
