Omni On-Location: Isaac Albeniz's "Mallorca" performed by the Angenendt Guitar Duo

The Omni Foundation for the Performing Arts had another YouTube Premiere this week. This time, we have a chance to hear Tristan and Martina Angenendt performing as the Angenendt Guitar Duo. The duo recorded an arrangement of Isaac Albeniz's "Mallorca, Op. 202" in a breathtaking outdoor location - the 12th-century Castle of Losenstein in Upper Austria.

Here is the timeline of the castle's history (source: http://www.burglosenstein.at//index.php/geschichte-der-burg.html):

1150 - The castle was built by the Styrian Ottakars

1170 - First documented mention

1186 - Babenberg were the new owners after the Ottakars passed away

1252 - Dietmar v. Steyr receives the castle in exchange for the city of Steyr

1418 - The Losensteiners leave the castle; Management is then performed by carers

1550 - The castle is abandoned as the administrative center and begins to decline

1692 - Family v. Auersperg inherits the castle/ruins from the extinct Losensteiners

1905 - The State of Upper Austria purchases the  completely desolate ruins and saves existing buildings
