Pochodzący z Austrii (spotyka się również określenie że z Niemiec) wybitny kompozytor Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart urodzony w 1756 w Salzburgu, zmarł w 1791 roku w Wiedniu. Prócz komponowania Mozart był również wirtuozem instrumentów klawiszowych, jego twórczość w większości otoczona była głównie austriackim Wiedniem. Należał do „klasyków wiedeńskich” do którego zaliczani są prócz Mozarta, Haydna i Beethovena. Album został wydany przez wytwórnię Passacaille (PAS 1042). Tracklista: 1.

Komplet sonat na skrzypce i fortepian, które doskonale pokazują sposób myślenia Beethovena wobec tych instrumentów. Utwory te bowiem przełamują tradycyjny schemat, w którym przewodzące skrzypce, są jedynie akompaniowane przez fortepian. Wszystkie dziesięć sonat wykazuje nie tylko niewątpliwy geniusz kompozytora, ale także jego wielką pomysłowość w kreowaniu formy. Wykonania tych znaczących utworów podejmuje się świetnie wypadający duet skrzypaczki Isabelle van Keulen wraz z Hannesem Minnaarem na fortepianie.
His playing is bright, sometimes witty and always technically secure. Here, with the admirable help of violinist Leila Josefowicz and cellist Carter Brey, he has recorded four Chopin chamber works … listening to that Largo, as played expansively by Brey, I wonder why the piece isn’t more widely performed … the playing here is warm, secure, and sympathetic. Brey is the principal cellist of the New York Philharmonic, Josefowicz a prizewinning violinist with an expertise in contemporary music. Both deserve the acclaim they have received.

Two important chamber works from 19th-century Poland, in quality equivalent perhaps to DvoÚák and Brahms, but completely unknown outside their native country.Zarębski was a virtuoso pianist, more feted during much of his short life as a performer than a composer. However his Piano Quintet is truly a masterpiece, demonstrating an originality and stature that match and even surpass better-known piano quintets by better-known composers. It shows a remarkably fresh ear for symphonic thinking, motivic development and sheer melodic invention. Żeleński was a teacher rather than a performer, ending his distinguished academic career as Director of the Conservatory in his home town of Krakow. His Piano Quartet is a passionate, lyrical work, combining the Romanticism of Mendelssohn and Schumann with a piquant Slavic element.The Szymanowski Quartet—half Polish, half Ukrainian—and honorary Pole Jonathan Plowright are the ideal performers of this music.
