The works of this production with the Austrian ensemble Concerto Stella Matutina are closely connected with Luigi Cherubini’s (1760-1842) visit to Vienna in the summer of 1805, whose opera Faniska, which premiered there, became a triumphant success. In Vienna he not only composed the new interlude music for the successful piece Lodoiska, the young Hummel also paid him a special homage. The soloist Herbert Walser-Breuss plays this popular work on a historical keyed trumpet, as the interpreter of the world premiere had used it.
