Recorded with crystalline clarity by DUX, this collection is a testament to timeless artistry, bridging Romantic-era poignancy with contemporary interpretive vitality.

The wife of a duke resists the advances of a powerful lecher and is “punished” by being cast adrift at sea. A well-meaning overseer of a mining operation rescues the shipwrecked woman and, under a different name, shelters her as his niece for ten years. At last, the duke—widowed for a second time—arrives at the place of her exile. They are reunited, and the villain meets his well-earned fate… Nothing new, one might think. Yet L’inganno felice (“The Fortunate Deception”), this one-act opera first performed in Venice in early 1812, is so brimming with Rossini’s most fiery spirit that we forget the familiar plot entirely over the course of its roughly 90-minute runtime: it ignites and sparkles, glitters and whirls with the most beautiful melodies, the most tingling rhythms, and the most furious orchestral surges the master of The Barber of Seville was capable of. The festival was far from the only one to be enthralled!

Paul Hindemith’s Der Schwanendreher (literally ‘the swan turner’) is a viola concerto based on medieval German folk songs. While the ‘swan turner’ was literally someone who turned the spit of a roasting swan, metaphorically it referred to an itinerant minstrel whose street organ or hurdy-gurdy was cranked via a swan’s-neck handle. He composed the work between September and October 1935, and it was premiered at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, with the composer (a virtuoso violist who did much to elevate the instrument’s status) serving as soloist.

“The more new discoveries you make, the more you go back to the beginning,” observes pianist Vincent Meissner.
