Burgmuller & Schubert: Works For Arpeggione

Franz Schubert's so-called "Arpeggione Sonata" owes its peculiar name to a long-forgotten string instrument that was usually referred to in Vienna in the 1820s as the "bowed guitar" or "guitar-violoncello". Soloist Lorenz Duftschmid has recorded five Schubert songs in instrumental versions as well as three nocturnes by an almost forgotten Romantic from the Rhineland: Friedrich Burgmüller. (CPO)
