Christine Schornsheim has enthralled an enthusiastic audience for many years with an almost inexhaustible variety of sounds by different period keyboard instruments with which she feels at ease and with sheer unending musical imagination. Her passion an her intuition for rare repertoire presents us also on this album two composers which mostly worked and lifed in Danmark: The german composer Johann Abraham Peter Schulz, who worked for many years in Kopenhagen and became almost famous with his Folk Songs, and his danish born pupil Christoph Ernst Friedrich Weyse. Virtuos piano compositions in the style, tradition and continuation of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach.
