About

CPO is delighted to present another disc of music by Felix Weingartner, a much-revered conductor but long overlooked composer. Thankfully, he is gradually coming to be acknowledged as the great composer he was.
 
CPO has been exploring Weingartner’s symphonic oeuvre with the Basel Symphony Orchestra – with the most astonishing results. The quest has revealed music of unprecedented mastery, resting on a classical and traditional foundation but also full of romantic expressivity and high suspense, with each work displaying its own unique and unmistakable stamp. 
 
With this release, CPO begins its exploration of Weingartner’s chamber music, with two wonderful ensemble pieces: the Sextet for Piano and Strings of 1904 and the Octet for Clarinet, Horn, Bassoon, Strings, and Piano of 1924.
