During Beethoven's lifetime, a guitar cult of previously unknown proportions broke out in Vienna. The guitar found an ideal biotope in the new bourgeois culture of the early 19th century. Within just a few years it became a mass phenomenon and a trendy instrument - a real guitaromania took over the salons.

This DVD was recorded in the rotunda of Biebrich Castle in Wiesbaden.

The pomp of this time and the simultaneous intimacy of the instrument sparkle on the recording in this unique setting!

Works by:

Rossini, Bellini, Beethoven, Mertz and Lhoyer.
