Few are aware that Josef Weigl (1766-1846) was both an acclaimed conductor and a highly successful composer whose fame - in his day - rivaled that of Cherubini, Rossini, Haydn, and even Beethoven. Tenor Donald George and forte pianist Lucy Mauro merge their talents in support of music by this neglected, yet deserving composer in historically informed performance.
