Of course, Gunar Letzbor and his musicians from Ars Antiqua Austria are completely peace-loving in nature, and certainly, the composers of the musical battle paintings presented here, whether they are of a general nature or actually depictions of historical battles, were not musical warmongers either. Rather, we should understand Letzbor and his ensemble here as musical war correspondents. Then, listening to these equally charming and masterful battaglia offers unadulterated listening pleasure, in which there can really only be winners.
