Interesting
Ernst Eichner, born in 1740 and passing in early 1777, was a prolific composer of the classical era, contributing significantly to the chamber music repertoire. His Flute Quartets Op.4 stand as a testament to his skill in creating music that is both intricate and accessible, blending the lyrical qualities of the flute with the depth of strings. This album by Jan De Winne and Il Gardellino not only highlights Eichner's compositional prowess but also brings attention to a composer who, despite his talents, remains lesser-known in the classical music canon.
