Since 1991 he has devoted himself exclusively to the baroque violin. Reinhard Goebel was a major impetus for this, and his lessons stimulated and made possible independent solutions in violin technical, stylistic and musical matters. It was also during this time that he began to be engaged by renowned European baroque orchestras and ensembles.

Christoph Timpe is best known for his work with the ensemble Accademia per Musica, which he founded in Rome in 1995. With this ensemble he has rediscovered the violin repertoire of the Neapolitan Baroque and presented it on three CD recordings. Thus Accademia per Musica was able to distinguish itself as one of the most important Italian original sound formations. Since then, the repertoire has expanded greatly, ranging from the early Baroque to the Classical period, always focusing on the respective sources as well as the underlying tonal and rhetorical aesthetics. Today, Christoph Timpe is working to reposition and establish the ensemble in Berlin.

Timpe’s interest in history and art history enriches his musical imagination, and his studies in the field of historical performance practice provide him with new artistic impulses. As a result, his virtuosity is grounded, as it were, and remains committed to the musical statement. Timpe’s profound knowledge of Italian art, culture and language lends him particular depth in the Italian repertoire.

The firm working out of the cultural environment, the questioning as well as the questioning of the musical means and aims, a constantly new weighting in the use of heart and brain, and, last but not least, the relaxed and integrating contact with the audience give Christoph Timpe’s performance its special quality. Thus the playing of the violin virtuoso becomes an authentic experience especially for demanding listeners.

Through vocal sense of sound, penetration of the musical substance as well as individual sensual joy of playing, the groups chelycus, Dulcian@Dulcimer.org and the bassoon duo satyros, which he co-founded, achieve an unmistakable sound, which is documented on numerous recordings.
