The NIFC label presents an new recording of violin concertos by 18th century Polish-born composers August Frederik Duranowski and Felix Janiewicz with an early symphony by W.A. Mozart; featured on the recording is the acclaimed oh! Orchestra, with violinist, and concertmaster of the St Gallen Symphony Orchestra, Chouchane Siranossian.

August Frederik Duranowski was born to a Polish mother and a French immigrant father. He was active not only as a composer but also as a violinist, and was so talented that he was recognised by Viotti at the age of 17, and was a great performer who even influenced Paganini.

Felix Janiewicz was born in Lithuania, then part of the Polish Union, and was recognised for his violin talent from a young age and served as a violinist at the Royal Chapel of Poland. After that, he stayed in Vienna from 1785 to meet Haydn and Mozart and was influenced by them. He was then recognised and active in Paris, but moved to England and ended his life there.

Chouchane Siranossian, who studied under Zakhar Bron at the Zurich University of Music from 2002, became the concertmaster of the St Gallen Symphony Orchestra (Switzerland), and after meeting Reinhard Goebel, she became passionate about playing period instruments and became a member of Les Siècles. She is active on the front lines, participating as a soloist in the tour.
