On this new , Martina Schobersberger and Gustav Auzinger, both with several album recordings on their own, now combine their love for organs in a great musical dialogue on this . The practice of performing on two organs developed with the emergence of polychoral performance, evidenced by the existence of two organs constructed facing one another in Italian churches as early as 1745. It is in this spirit of musical conversation that these two musicians present this . This performance practice is implemented in the present recording not as a duel, but rather as a peaceful musical InchDialogue.Inch Martina Schobersberger studied organ and harpsichord at the Anton Bruckner Private University Linz, as well as at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. She is a member and project manager of the Austrian Baroque Company. Gustav Auzinger studied sacred music and pedagogy of music and organ under the guidance of Michael Radulescu at the Superior School of music in Vienna.

An internationally awarded ensemble, the violinists Almuth Siegel and Ágnes Pusker (Duo ASAP) create a diverse program around the motto InchdialoguesInch. With Inchpassion, temperament and witty playfulnessInch (Newspaper InchSüddeutsche ZeitungInch) they present works from four centuries including world premiere recordings. The joy of playing music is felt throughout-inviting the listener to indulge in diverse musical tête- à-têtes. Buchenberg's InchSaitentänzeInch are a tribute to the Duo's love of nature. The musical depictions of dancing elves, fairies, and Inchwild womenInch have thrilled the audiences during many a Inchforest concertInch of the Duo ASAP. A dialogue between music and language arises with Hiller's work InchMetamorphosesInch (incl. Hans-Christian Andersen, Rainer Maria Rilke, Michael Krüger etc.), when the actor Stefan Hunstein recites the integrated poems with sensitivity and gripping suggestiveness within the context of violin music.
