"Ignaz Holzbauer was one of the better composers of
his time - unfortunately, his music is almost never
heard today, so it's nice to have this recording -
the symphonies themselves are excellent music. and
the performance (on period instruments) is
exemplary - done in a forceful and agressive manner
that would be difficult to duplicate on modern
instruments.. All in all, an excellent record -
this orchestra (the L'orfeo barockorchester)
should record more symphones by Holzbauer>"
