Adalbert Gyrowetz, born right between Mozart and Beethoven, was one of those who had to experience the changing times in a particularly drastic way. When he died in 1850, Schumann was 40 and Liszt 39 years old; and Chopin, who had made his debut in Warsaw in 1818 with a piano concerto by the Bohemian, had already been dead for six months. Gyrowetzen's instrumental music had once been particularly celebrated; it was printed many times, performed and finally - forgotten. The composer switched to the stage, wrote church music and created a post-summer in which he must nevertheless have thought wistfully of the old pieces, which were sometimes considered to be the best Haydn. The sample from the "good old days" compiled by the tireless explorer Howard Griffiths shows how this could happen. His orchestra is no coincidence: Gyrowetz once enjoyed a high reputation on the Thames too. Now he is back.
