Philippe Joseph Hinner (1755-1784) - long known only as "Harp Master to Her Majesty, the Queen of France" - was much more than a court musician. His extraordinary biography and elegant music offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of Marie Antoinette and the refined culture of pre-revolutionary France. In 1774, he was appointed to the royal chapel of Louis XVI and soon became harpist and valet to the young queen. In her company, he composed numerous subtle works - romances and airs tendres for voice and harp - intended for the elegant salons of Versailles and often dedicated to members of the royal family. For several years, Julia Kirchner and Vera Schnider have been rediscovering forgotten works for soprano and harp from around 1800. Their new album brings Hinner's romances and airs back to life - intimate, finely nuanced pieces full of expression, grace, and virtuosity.
