Desde el principio de los tiempos, las montañas del Himalaya han albergado muchos misterios. Leyendas que a su vez despiertan fascinación o pavor, y despiertan nuestro asombro. Entre los que nos han llegado se encuentra este extraño mito, probablemente el más incomprendido de todos, de un mundo que desapareció sin dejar rastro. Un valle escondido, escondido entre las nubes, que es escenario de las aventuras de un guerrero sin nombre, un feroz luchador al que todos llaman… el Mercenario.

Second release on Ondine by the award-winning pianist Anastasia Injushina features some of the lesser-known aspects of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s (1756–1791) piano music. Injushina is particularly known for the poetry and sensitivity in her playing, which makes Mozart’s music, among others, a perfect choice for repertoire for her. During the 1780s Mozart became deeply interested in Baroque music. In Vienna he took actively part in Sunday meetings arranged by van Swieten where the music of the old masters, such as Handel and Bach, were played. As a result the influence of Baroque music became visible in some of Mozart’s works which are heard on this disc. The Suite in C was influenced by Handel’s piano suites. Prelude and Fugue is a great example of Mozart’s interest in the art of the Fugue and the music of Bach. The Sonata movement KV 312 and Andante in F major for Small Mechanical Organ are among Mozart’s last completed pieces. Twelve Variations in C major on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman" is a delightful piece based on the famous children’s song Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
