About

Little is known about the composer, pianist, and singer Margarethe Danzi. Nevertheless, her work was well-known and highly esteemed during her lifetime. It is not unlikely that some of her ideas found their way into the compositions of her husband, Franz Danzi.

She was the daughter of the well-known singer, actor and theatre director Theobald Hilarius Marchand and the actress Magdalena Brochard. In 1790 she married Danzi. She spent an important part of her musical education studying in Salzburg with Leopold Mozart, at whose house she lived between 1782 and 1784, together with her brother, the violinist Heinrich Marchand. Margarethe (who was also called Gretl or Gredl) and her brother appear regularly in the diaries and letters of the Mozart family.

As a pedagogue, Leopold Mozart played an essential role in the musical education and development of his son, Wolfgang Amadeus, as well as authoring the Violinschule that even today remains a standard in the violin teaching repertoire.

Vaughan Schlepp was born in Tokyo in 1956 and received his first piano lessons in England, where he performed at the age of five. He continued his studies in the United States, played a piano concerto when he was twelve and graduated magna cum laude from the Eastman School of Music in New York. His interest in early music took him to The Netherlands for study with Gustav Leonhardt. As a performer on the harpsichord as well as on the 18th and 19th-century fortepiano and the modern piano, Vaughan has given numerous recitals and master-classes throughout the world as well as having made recordings for radio, television and CD.

Born in Amsterdam in 1969, Antoinette Lohmann studied violin with Jean Louis Stuurop, viola with Esther van Stralen and baroque violin with Lucy van Dael at the Sweelinck Conservatorium in Amsterdam. Since 1997 she has focused on historical performance practice on violin, viola, tenor viola and viola d’amore. With Cappella Figuralis she made several recordings of mainly northern European Baroque music.
