Focusing attention on forgotten composers of the classical and romantic periods, the new Joachin Wollenweber Edition utilizes new sheet music editions which are created in collaboration with musicologists and top artists, which are published at the same time as the CD recordings. This release is the fourth album in the series and is dedicated to the late Romantic composer Philipp Scharwenka, who despite his lack of popularity today, gained the respect of his contemporaries such as Max Reger. Natalia Prischepenko is the featured violinist on this album. Hailing from Siberia, her mother, a famous USSR teacher, brought her up in music, and remains her mentor even today. After winning multiple national competitions, she began touring the globe as a soloist.
