In 2003, German cellist Anja Lechner and Argentinian guitarist Pablo Márquez first met. Since then, the duo has dedicated themselves to exploring diverse repertoires and forms of expression in their joint concerts. For their debut album as a duo, they recorded music by Franz Schubert, thus continuing the long-standing tradition of song accompaniment with guitar, which was particularly widespread in 19th-century Vienna. Numerous Schubert songs were published in versions for guitar during the composer's lifetime, some even before the piano editions. In addition to Schubert's works, the recording also includes the elegant Trois Nocturnes by Friedrich Burgmüller (1806–1874), originally composed for cello and guitar, which serve as an echo of Schubert's expressive style. To coincide with the release of "Die Nacht" (The Night), Lechner and Márquez are touring Europe, performing in countries such as Germany, Austria, France, Hungary, and Romania.
