This past year's Easter Concert of the Bach Consort Vienna, conducted by Ruben Dubrovsky in the Basilica of Klosterneuburg Monastery, featured works by Antonio Vivaldi, which he composed during his engagement with the orphanage Ospedale della Piet� in Venice. The young girls growing up there received early musical training, which led the choir and orchestra of the Ospedale to become internationally acclaimed. This concert recording by Bach Consort Vienna with soloists Andreas Scholl, alto, Hanna Herfurtner and Joowon Chung, soprano and the Salzburg Bach Choir combines instrumentals like the Sonata a quatro in E-flat major "Al Santo Sepolcro", RV 130 and the Concerto in G minor, RV 156 with the liturgical works Stabat Mater, RV 621 and Gloria, RV 589, written for Easter.

Robert Schumann's own spiritual world becomes most evident in his piano works. Bulgarian-Austrian Pianist Dora Deliyska talks about her new CD: "His emotions are strong and heartfelt, but by no means meditative. He sometimes presents us with several ideas at the same time, without leaving us time to experience everything at the same moment. Only when the music is over do you sense the influence and the inner change his music has provoked. With Schumann, the final note is the key opening the door to inner expression. You only have to be open and prepared to allow this overwhelming wave of emotions to act on you." This release features Kreisleriana OP. 16 - character pieces addressed to Schumann's later wife and great love Clara Wieck, the Kinderszenen op. 15 and two of the Six Studies after Caprices by Paganini op. 3.

The group presents 4 trios all composed by great pianists: Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninov, and Shostakovich.

Unaffected by changing eras and stylistic developments the combination of flute and guitar has had a particular appeal for composers from the Baroque age to the present. On their album “Crossings” Gregory and Jan Cimoszko present a colorful selection of works from different cultural backgrounds. Classical compositions like the Grand duo concertant A major Op. 85 by Maurio Giuliani, at that time one of the greatest guitar players, the Variations sur un Thème de Rossini by Frederic Chopin or the Sonatina for Flute and Guitar Op. 205 by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco provide evidence to the diversity of works written for this cast. Examples for music from the 20th century are the Entr'acte by Jacques Ibert, the Fantaisie brillante sur l'opéra “Carmen” de Bizet by Francois Borne and Historie du Tango, where Astor Piazzolla portrays the development of the Argentinian Tango.
