The second solo album of the young soprano Charlotte Sch�fer, together with Concerto con Anima under Michael Preiser, contains true gems of virtuoso coloratura art, which all use texts from the libretto Demofoonte by Pietro Metastasio. Among the composers of the works recorded here for the first time in the world are Johann Christian Bach, Pasquale Anfossi and Giuseppe Sarti. "Stylistically confident; crisp, clear and energetic!" is how the Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung described Charlotte Sch�fer's voice. Ever since her debut performance in 2012, singing Aspasia's arias from Mozart's Mitridate, re di ponto, the young coloratura soprano has enchanted audiences and critics. Her successful debut was soon followed by invitations to music festivals (Festival de Besan�on, Festival Ensemblia), live recordings for radio (BR, Deutschlandradio Kultur) and recordings for the music labels ARS Produktion and cpo. She has performed on stage in Italy, France, Latvia, Hungary and Switzerland.

With the piano trios by Zemlinsky and Korngold (from 1896 and 1909/10) recorded on this production, the three passionate chamber musicians of the Stefan Zweig Trio bring together compositions that offer both a retrospective and an outlook on their time of origin. The Vienna-based Stefan Zweig Trio was established in 2012, and unites three passionate chamber musicians with a broad range of experience. The members of the Trio are graduates of the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and the Paris Conservatoire, and are laureates of major competitions including ARD, Sendai, and the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition. They made their Wigmore Hall debut in January 2015. The ensemble is a member of the European Chamber Music Academy (ECMA) and enjoys regular artistic guidance from notable musicians such as Johannes Meissl, Avedis Kouyoumdjian, Hatto Beyerle and Miguel Da Silva.
