Brief description: 200 years after his death, there is hardly another composer whose name carries such widely different connotations as Joseph Haydn´s (1732-1809). On the one hand, there is the ever-present stereotype of "Papa-Haydn", a moniker, it must be noted, that was coined during Haydn´s lifetime and was never meant to trivialize his musical achievements.
Shortly before he immersed himself in England´s world of music, Haydn was already happy to comply with publisher Bland´s expectations and entrusted him with a few original compositions he created strting from the turn of the year 1789/90: the three Trios for flute, cello, and piano, hob. XV: 15-17.With this instrumentation, Haydn presumably was in tune with Britain´s musical taste of the day as the flute was particularly popular among its bourgeois and aristrocratic circles.

Brief description: The Hungarian Dances (German: Ungarische Tänze) by Johannes Brahms (WoO 1), are a set of 21 lively dance tunes based mostly on Hungarian themes. Only numbers 11, 14 and 16 are entirely original compositions. In fact, number 5 was based on the csárdás by Kéler Béla titled "Bartfai emlek" which Brahms mistakenly thought was a traditional folksong.[1] They vary from about a minute to four minutes in length. They are among Brahms' most popular works, and were certainly the most profitable for him. Each dance has been arranged for a wide variety of instruments and ensembles. Brahms originally wrote the version for piano four-hands and later arranged the first 10 dances for solo piano. The most famous Hungarian Dance is No. 5 in F♯ minor (G minor in the orchestral version).

Brief description: Juergen Fischer is a born genius of the Pianoforte and whiz kid of Melody.Born in the 10th of June, 1966 in Baden/Baden/Germany, he settled down in Switzerland since 1971, where he hence attended the schools and college and where he is living and composing until mowadays. From the time when he was thirteen years old, he was compelled to compose beautiful melodies. Already at that time he composed several romantic pieces for the piano. Since then he composed more than 250 music songs which echoes his wide range of styles of his gift. His speciality is however, the romantic classical music type.

Brief description: 'Nachtgesang' (Night Songs) is a collection of works by Franz Schubert (1797-1828), composer of an abundant body of choral music. In these 11 pieces with the common romantic theme of the night, Schubert is in his element, but surprisingly little importance is given to these masterly pieces. Monumental pieces like 'Gesang der Geister uber den Wassern' will be juxtaposed with more descriptive pieces like 'Der Gondelfahrer' and sweet, soaring arias like 'Im Gegenwartigen Vergangenes.' Some light accompaniment.
Schubert is one of the greatest of all time,
and each of these songs, whether its focus be romantic or spiritual love, is a choral gem!
Schubert was born into a musical family, and received formal musical training through much of his childhood. While Schubert had a close circle of friends and associates who admired his work (amongst them the prominent singer Johann Michael Vogl), wide appreciation of his music during his lifetime was limited at best. He was never able to secure adequate permanent employment, and for most of his career he relied on the support of friends and family. He made some money from published works, and occasionally gave private musical instruction. In the last year of his life he began to receive wider acclaim. He died at the age of 31 of typhoid fever.
This album was recorded at Collegiumskapelle Kalksburg, Austria.
