“Guillaume and I worked day and night on both pieces and tried to do justice to every phrase, to give it contour and depth. During this radical quest for authenticity, we went to our utmost limits and beyond to comprehend these scores as profoundly as possible, to extract the composers' substance, in order to penetrate the endless musical universe of Strauss and Franck. This is because we know that we have to make 'a strong statement' amid the ocean of legendary recordings. We believe that we have achieved this and hope our listeners can feel and hear it.” (Brieuc Vourch)

Today, the music city of Salzburg basks in the fame of its most famous son, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He was born into a very music-friendly environment: Archbishop Sigismund III reigned from 1753 to 1771, who particularly promoted music and generously sponsored the travels of the young Mozart with his family - in contrast to his frugal successor Count Colloredo, who eventually abandoned Mozart Salzburg sold. In his childhood, however, his father Leopold and the young Michael Haydn were influential figures in Salzburg's musical life; two men who shared a problem: they were overshadowed by even more prominent relatives. Leopold in that of his son, Michael, who is known as a child prodigy, in that of his world-famous brother Joseph. Works by these two and the very young "Wolferl" show the playful, light elegance that prevailed in Salzburg during this period of early Classicism - especially in works involving the shepherd's horn, a Salzburg specialty that Henning Wiegräbe mastered with virtuosity.

"…It goes without saying that both protagonists here have more than the requisite technical fire power to cope with the demands - fortunately they use it with taste and restraint so that it never threatens to transform itself into a performance of proto-Brahms.The sound as well is of the same high standard as the playing and in every possible way, this issue cannot be faulted. Highly recommended and this listener is eagerly awaiting volume 2!" ~sa-cd.net
