On the occasion of Gustav Klimt’s 150th birthday, this felicitous selection of works by the great painter’s contemporaries endeavours to draw a picture of the musical environment Klimt found in Vienna during his lifetime. Besides historically significant recordings with Bruno Walter, Robert Stolz, Herbert von Karajan or the Vienna Philharmonic, modern restoration technology here brings to life original recordings already produced during Klimt’s lifetime. In 1905, Gustav Mahler played a movement from his 4th Symphony on the piano, which was recorded on perforated paper rolls by Edwin Welte. Alfred Grünfeld played his Mazurka à la Viennoise the same year, and the unforgettable Fritz Kreisler can be heard with his famous Liebesfreud in the original of 1910. This magnificent collection, which does not overlook popular music by Johann Strauss Jr. and Franz Lehar, is completed by works by composers such as Brahms (Hungarian Dance No. 17), Korngold, Richard Strauss (Rosenkavalier Waltz), Zemlinsky and Schoenberg whose work coincided temporally and spatially with Klimt’s. The collection is interpreted by the sensitive young violinist Thomas Albertus Irnberger, accompanied by Evgueni Sinaiski and Jörg Demus.
