Info for Stamitz / Richter: Early String Symphonies, Vol. 2

Following the delectable String Symphonies Volume 1 comes an equally delectable Volume 2, with one sinfonia by Johann Stamitz (1717-1757) and three by Franz Xaver Richter (1709-1789). Where Volume 1 covered works from 1740-1750, this one covers the period 1750-1755.

'Simon Murphy and his boys play on the second volume of this spectacular new series this music 'Mannheim Rockets' and all, with an authenticity and energy that's got the competition beat. The authentic string sound they produce is perfection.' (Tower.com)

'The musicians play on period instruments with unequalled elegance and warmth. Producers should use this absolutely superb recordings as a reference model. Rarely baroque music has sounded with so much detail and perfect sound quality'. (Hansjürg Gutgsell, Thurgauer Zeitung)

'Also this second album of the New Dutch Academy is full of vitality and spirituality…in all those beautifully shaped melodies the orchestra is in total balance' (Haagse Courant)
