Renee Allen; Zvi Meniker - Salon Music For Horn

Played on historical instruments, alongside Schumann's Adagio and Allegro, there are first recordings by unknown romantic composers from a collection of A E Fischer Verlag, Bremen, which was lost in World War II. The varied program transports the audience to the German salons of the late 19th century.

With short preludes, the piano creates smooth transitions to the valve and natural horn repertoire.

The beautifully designed, informative booklet with many illustrations provides insights into the flourishing music world of Bremen at the time, researched in terms of music history.
