Thüringen Philharmonie Gotha & Breuer & Barschewitsch - Böhner: Orchestral Works (Music at the Court of Gotha) (CD)

Release Date: 01/01/95

Music by a composer whose rise to fame was quickly followed by a fall into oblivion: The musical talent of Ludwig Böhner (1787-1860) was soon overshadowed by his unstable lifestyle and poor health. Yet, his music is well worth rediscovering. Together with Viktor Barschewitsch, violin, the Thuringian State Orchestra Gotha, under the baton of Herman Breuer, performs works of this forgotten master.
