Johann Wilhelm Hassler (1747-1822) gained his fame during the early 19th century as a worthy successor of the “Bach Tradition”. He is also the founder of the ‘Russian piano school’. Hassler’s works for piano are a long-standing part of the repertoire, and his Grand Gigue, Sonata Fantasia, and Fantasia in C minor are only a few of the works featured on this album. Anthony Spiri is not only a renowned soloist, he is also well-known for his lied accompaniment and his chamber music. He has studied with Erika Frieser, Hans Leygraf, Rudolf Firkusny, Erik Werba and Nikaolaus Harnoncourt.
