About

Johann Baptist Vaňhal was one of Haydn’s most important contemporaries. His symphonies in particular were widely admired throughout Europe, with music historian Dr Charles Burney reporting that Vaňhal’s symphonies were known in England before those of Haydn. The finely wrought works in this recording include the Symphony in F minor, considered one of his best in this genre, and the Symphony in C which was highly popular in its day. All of these works illustrate Vaňhal’s sophisticated mastery of musical structure, imaginative handling of the orchestra, and a profusion of memorable themes.

Our edition of Vaňhal’s symphonies began way back in 1998 with a first volume (8554341) considered ‘both grand and profound’ in Gramophone magazine. Vol.2 (8554138) was considered ‘technically exceptional and capable of going toe-to-toe with the middle-period symphonies of Haydn and even several of Mozart’s’ in the American Record Guide.
