From among the enormous choice of horn repertoire available in the early stages of his study of the instrument, the interestof Fréderick Franssen was piqued by the very earliest horn music. The music from that era did and still does exert its magic on him due to the pure beauty of its clear and transparent sound world.
One of his first finds on this quest of discovery through the Baroque period was a concerto by an unknown hand, which appears on this album and comes from a very special collection – the "Wenster". The library at the University of Lund in Sweden contains one of the largest collections of horn music from the first half of the 18th century, under the name of "Wenster". The manuscript contains eighteen works, with virtually all of the composers having some sort of connection to the city of Dresden, and it may have been transcribed by a travelling horn player during a visit to that city. The six works on this recording are all taken from this collection.
