Büchelbox 2

Balthasar Streiff and Yannick Wey have brought the nearly forgotten traditional alpine instrument back to a wide audience through their Büchel project. The success, positive feedback, and inquiries from interested parties, as well as previously unpublished material and new insights from their own research, led them to the repertoire for this follow-up production. The album features original pieces from Switzerland and Europe (Norway, Romania, Ukraine), historical compositions, arrangements, and newly composed works that go beyond what is already known. Anonymously transmitted recordings, literature from the Baroque period, representatives of the classical canon such as Béla Bartók and Benjamin Britten, as well as modern compositions by Georg Haider and Balthasar Streiff create surprising connections. This time, the focus is on the Büchler Dominik Marty from Muotatal.
