The album was recorded with the Wrttemberg Chamber Orchestra Heilbronn under Emmanuel Tjeknavorian and was released by the label Berlin Classics. Born in Klagenfurt in 1999, Jeremias Fliedl's musical development was significantly influenced by Heinrich Schiff as his last student at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna after his initial training with Igor Mitrovic. He completed his bachelor's degree with Clemens Hagen at the University Mozarteum Salzburg and his master's degree with Julian Steckel at the University of Music and Theatre Munich. He received important artistic input from Daniel Mller-Schott and Michael Sanderling. He is a prizewinner of the Liezen Competition, the Svirl Competition, the Antonio Janigro Competition and also the first Austrian cellist to be awarded as a laureate at the Queen Elisabeth Competition. Jeremias Fliedl plays the "ex Gendron, Lord Speyer", a cello made by Antonio Stradivari in 1693, which is privately loaned to him.
