Stamitz: Sinfonias Concertante in D & in C, Viola Concertos in A & in D

The music of the second half of the 18th century has gained a lasting popularity with audiences. It is transparent, symmetrical, and does not annoy the listener with incomprehensible depth of thought or overly exalted expression.
- Carl Stamitz (1745-1801), the son of the famous Jan Václav Stamic, pleasantly surprises both with his imagination and with his refined instrumental textures.
- Gabriela Demeterová, one of the best string players of her era makes the most of her instrumental skills in this recording of four of the composer's violin and viola concertos.
- Gabriela Demeterová, also a brilliant violist, takes advantage of multitrack recording techniques in the sinfonia concertante.
- This lends a unity of interpretation and style to the recording.

Gabriela Demeterová's virtuosity shines forth in Stamitz
