London Mozart Players, Matthias Bamert - Christian Cannabich: Symphonies (Contemporaries of Mozart) (2006)

It seems incredible that more and more wonderful music is discovered in Europe's libraries, conservatories, museums and being found to be very listenable in the 21st. Century. So we find this CD, a recording under Contemporaries of Mozart from Chandos, by one of the best musical groups around, the London Mozart Players under Matthias Bamert. Every piece is a genuine delight. And when you think about it, there MUST have been many other composers before Mozart, before Haydn, who people were in fact listening too at that time and we often find, looking back, may have been more famous than those composers we know today and most frequently hear, i.e. Mozart, Haydn. So yes indeed, this CD is worth a purchase, especially if you enjoy the music of either Haydn or Mozart. THREE premier recordings plus two others, some sixty six minutes plus of beautiful music!
