Three Symphonies and A Hoboe Concerto - Concert performance as part of the CD recording with works by Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf

Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf is maybe not one of the many forgotten composers of the Viennese Classical school, but certainly one of the most underestimated. His creativity and sense of humour is probably on a par with Joseph Haydn. High time then for an ensemble of the likes of the L’Orfeo Barockorchester, directed by Michi Gaigg, to present a handpicked choice of symphonies, including a „Sinfonia a Contrabasso e Viola concertati“and the last concerto in history for the Baroque oboe d’amore.
