The Doppler brothers played a dominant role in the K&K Monarchy’s musical life as composers, conductors, musicians and as orchestral soloists. They were on good terms with acknowledged artists of the era, such as Ferenc Liszt, Ferenc Erkel, or Jozsef Bajza.
This is the second release in a set of 10 CDs comprising the Dopplers' complete music for flute(s), including various arrangements. Flautist Claudi Arimany spent decades researching this project, inspiring many famous musicians to become involved in its realisation.

FRANZ LISZT
WOJCIECH WALECZEK, piano
What a man, what a violin, what an artist! […] And his expression, his manner of phrasing, and finally his soul!’ Franz Liszt, 1831 (about Paganini)
The transcriptions and arrangements of Paganini’s études represent a special case and, besides a bow before the great colleague, demonstrate demands on extreme technical skills. In his études, the pianist Liszt is quite evidently endeavouring to place alongside the Devil’s violinist Niccolò Paganini a Devil’s Pianist, which he completely succeeds in doing. In general, recourse is taken to the second version (1851) today, as it seems to be in keeping with Liszt’s definitive desire. However, all the more interesting on this CD is a direct comparison with the earlier version (1838), which exhibits an even more dense notation and difficulties transcending technical borders.

BEETHOVEN - The Solo Concertos
Isabelle van Keulen · Julian Steckel · Wiener KammerOrchester · Stefan Vladar, piano & conductor
In conjunction with his Viennese Chamber Orchestra, the Austrian pianist and conductor Stefan Vladar presents a new studio production of the solo concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven. He does so in proven twin function in the spirit of Viennese musical tradition:
“As a pianist and conductor in one person, it is possible to convey a better overall impression of these concertos and I understand this more than expanded chamber music as pure solo concertos with orchestra.” (Stefan Vladar)
Supported by high-quality soloists, the virtuoso concertos experience a contemporary performance somewhere between tradition and a chamber musical interpretation: “With Beethoven, you have to have stamina as well as perfection and great vision. Actually, you have to be able to perform almost superhuman things.” (Isabelle van Keulen)
This is a new and fascinating sound document from the musical metropolis of Vienna: “Of course, performing music in Vienna is something very special. Here, there is a natural understanding, an energy and a passion for music that is by no means common.” (Julian Steckel)
