The Doppler brothers played a leading role in the Imperial Monarchy’s musical life as composers, conductors, musicians and orchestral soloists. They were on good terms with acknowledged artists of the era, such as Ferenc Liszt and Ferenc Erkel, as well as Jozsef Bajza, director of the Budapest National Theatre.
Capriccio’s 12-album edition of Dopplers’ complete music for flute(s), includes a number of reconstructions. Flautist Claudi Arimany spent decades researching this project, inspiring other famous musicians to become involved in its realisation. After four years, Capriccio is pleased to have reached the final volume, and proud to close another gap in musical history on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Franz Doppler's birth, which falls in 2021.
‘Claudi Arimany's playing is a great win for this recording... It is worth considering acquiring the whole set.’ – MusicWeb International
