Capriccio Bo/Kiefer - Giuseppe Sammartini: Concerto grazioso - 6 Concerti grossi, Op. 5

�As a performer on the hautboy, Giuseppe Sammartini, �Londinese�, was undoubtedly the greatest that the world had ever known. He contrived to produce such a tone as approached the nearest to that of the human voice. His Concerti grossi and his later sets of Concertos have a breadth of invention and sureness of purpose second only to the music of Handel�. (General History of the Science and Practice of Music, 1776). After CD editions of neglected works by Mudge, Hayes, Gregori, Hertel and Lully, Capriccio, the �discoverer�s orchestra�, presents a further premiere of inspired works by Giuseppe Sammartini, younger brother of the more famous Giovanni Battista Sammartini.
