For the recording of Vienna 1840, Pascal Valois has set himself to rediscover this expressive way of interpreting music as it was played in the German-speaking world of the Romantic period. Committed to this quest for authenticity, Valois uses a replica of a Viennese guitar made by the luthier Johann Georg Stauffer (1778-1853) in 1830 to highlight the works of Franz Schubert, Giulio Regondi and Johann Kaspar Mertz.
