Here are a couple of well-known compositions by two German composers of the early Romantic era.
“Frühlingslied” or “Spring Song” is from Felix Mendelssohn’s Songs Without Words (Book 5 Op. 62 No. 6).
“Träumerei”comes from Robert Schumann’s Kinderszenen (Scenes From Childhood) (Op. 15 No. 7)
Performing are three musicians who were well known in early 20th century Europe: Hungarian cellist Arnold Földesy, Russian violinist Boris Kroyt who later played viola for the Budapest String Quartette from 1936 – 1967 and Polish pianist Karol Szreter.
The label credits Szreter as performing on a Schwechtenfügel, a grand piano made by the highly regarded Berlin piano manufacturer G Schwechten.
