Vanhal: Symphonies


Johann Baptist Vanhal numbers among the most productive composers of the eighteenth century. Among other works, seventy-seven symphonies and sixty solo concertos by him are documented. He was for quite some time, especially before the works of Haydn and Mozart became more widely known, one of the most popular and even one of the most renowned instrumental composers in Germany.

“These are works of vivid and lively invention which also embrace a wide diversity of approach… The Concerto Köln play with spirit, enthusiasm and style…” --Penguin Guide
