  • Description

    The composer of the chamber music recorded here was one of the many musical talents who left the Bohemian countryside to find a suitable position in the German-speaking world. Georg Druschetzky (1745-1819) initially chose a military career, becoming a well-known timpani virtuoso and soon falling into the graces of the Hungarian nobility, who appreciated his virtuosity, administrative skills and his unique creativity. This contemporary of Haydn and Mozart was an inexhaustible source of entertainment, especially in the area of chamber music for winds. Without rebelling against the great classical forms, Druschetzky knew how to surprise his listeners constantly with a subtle refinement that almost seems written for the historical instruments of oboist Eduard Wesly and the Grundmann Quartet. These four musicians are completely in their element, just as on their first album.
