Joseph Marx was an Austrian composer with Italian grandparents. He spent a lot of his youth staying in Italy and was inspired by the beautiful idyllic surroundings. Nature and its seasonal cycle continued to be an inspiration in his music. A selection of these seasonal inspired pieces is present on this disc, including the recording premiere of Feste im Herbst, a monumental work of great maturity which was inspired by his favourite season Autumn and was the composers last work.
