In the summer of 1683, two giant armies moved toward Vienna. The Turks encircled the capital, even before Germans and Poles came as relief. On 12 September it came to the decisive battle before the gates of the city. Lorenz Duftschmid and Vladimir Ivanoff recall the events of this fateful year for music. Baroque music from Fux and Biber steps into the ring with original Turkish music from the period.
