"Far from the Danube" is the story of an extraordinary woman who rescued a heavily wounded knight from a battlefield in northern Bulgaria and managed to return him to a less than grateful family in Normandy, just as the Hundred Years War was about to start.

Based on a recorded meeting between English King Henry V ... |

Хауер е австрийски музикант, композитор и теоретик, чийто творчески път започва в зората на ХХ в. под влиянието на импресионизма.
