Dedicated to Tsar Alexander I and his family, this album of chamber music by Western European musicians presents the musical activities of the Russian court at the beginning of the 19th century. The Pleyel Trio, made up of Russia's best period instrument players, dynamically captures the various aspects of classical musicians, from composers active in Russia such as Hessler to Hummel, who made an enthusiastic tour of Russia, and Beethoven, who dedicated works in Vienna.

The second instalment of the complete keyboard works by Johann Wilhelm Hässler. Johann Wilhem Hässler lived from 1742 to 1822, the transition of the Baroque to the Classical era. His style embraces the Empfindsamkeit initiated by W.F. Bach and C.Ph.E. Bach and the heritage of J.S.Bach. These different idioms perfectly coexist to create his complex language, however, Hässler progressively abandoned the baroque heritage to develop a more modern style embracing a more classical aesthetic. The works on these 4 CD`s clearly mark the stylistic development of Hässler, from Baroque polyphony and counterpoint to the graceful classical language in Haydn style.
