Currently, they are almost certainly the only such duo capable of offering a top-notch programme combining both pieces on original instruments and contemporary works. Both musicians are well-established in their own right as soloists, but together - ever since they began their collaboration in 2004 - they have brought the repertoire for horn and piano to concert halls throughout Spain and Europe, Noteworthy as well are the albums that they have created together, unique to this genre in Spain. On the Arsis label, they have recorded an album with works by J.F.Dauprat, using original instruments, titled "Tableau Musical", as well as another with classical sonatas for natural horn and fortepiano (Ries, Krufft, Danzi and Czerny), and finally a magnificent album recorded on modern instruments, "Romances pour cor et piano". Of all their projects, one that particularly stands out is the album "Just for Fun", released on the new EXAudio label, featuring universally well-known works transcribed for horn and piano by Javier Bonet himself. Javier Bonet began his studies in Spain under the tutelage of his father and Miguel Rodrigo in Valencia. Continuing his studies he accomplished his faculties at Folkwang Music Academy in Essen, Germany, with composition and a world-wide Hermann Baumann. Bonet is a tireless researcher in the field of horn sought-after soloist and chamber musician. As a player of the natural horn he enjoys an internationally acknowledged reputation as an interpreter on historical instruments, which are likewise the domain of the ensemble Corniloquio, founded by Bonet himself. He has released numerous recordings of the natural horn on CD, two with the pianist Miriam G6mez-Moran (Tableau Musical and sonatas for horn and piano) and two CDs together with Corniloquio. In the genre of the French horn his productions with ARSIS have turned out to be outstanding, among which the recordings of Great Romantic Horn Concertos, Romances pour le cor. And for the label VERSO "Naturaleza Humana", concerto for French horn and orchestra, by the composer Juanjo Colomer. Bonet's most celebrated recording on video and CD, also for the label ARSIS contain a version of Mozart's horn concertos played by the Munich Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Hermann Baumann. The latest recording, by the title of Just For Fun with Miriam G6mez-M6ran at the piano as well, released in 2016 for the new label EXAUDIO contains his own transcriptions of some popular music for piano, violin, cello or human voice. As a horn soloist he has performed with the majority of the famous Spanish orchestras as well as with other orchestras in several European countries and in Taiwan, China, Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico, Japan and the U.S.A. Being a prize-winner himself in various international competitions he is now active in the jury of the most reputed competitions as they take place in Porcia, Geneva or with the German Radio Corporation ARD in Munich.
