ARIA Award winning Genevieve Lacey is one of the world's greatest recorder players and her dazzling virtuosity makes the listener completely rethink their attitude toward the instrument. She has premiered multiple concertos and other works written for her, and her performances have been described by The Guardian (London) as "combining sensuality, wit and mind boggling flamboyance".

Karin Schaupp is regarded as one of the most outstanding young guitarists on the international scene. She is a passionate and lyrical performer whose playing has been hailed by the German press as "so perfect, so complete, that it seems like a miracle".

Produced by ABC Classics, the CD features 21 tracks with repertoire by much loved and lesser known composers. Lacey and Schaupp have imaginatively captured the essence of an intimate 19th century salon filled with exquisite beauty, poetry and passion.
