Immerse yourself in the rich and diverse musical world of Erwin Schulhoff with this captivating album, released on January 18, 2019, under the CapriccioNR label. Spanning a generous 4 hours and 10 minutes, this collection showcases Schulhoff's mastery of chamber music, offering a blend of symphonies, concertos, and quartets that highlight his unique compositional voice.

The album also features the Double Concerto for Flute & Piano, Op. 63, and the Concerto for String Quartet & Wind Ensemble, both of which demonstrate Schulhoff's skill in writing for diverse instrumental combinations. The Violin Sonata and Duo for Violin & Cello further enrich the collection, offering intimate and expressive works for soloists.
Throughout the album, Schulhoff's playful and innovative spirit shines through, making this a compelling exploration of his musical legacy. Whether you're a longtime fan of chamber music or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience.
