Divertimenti Viennesi

This recording presents 'Divertimenti' by Viennese composers: Karl Ditters von Dittersdorf, Johann Michael Haydn and Jan Kritel Vanhal. They are for 2 violins (or violin and viola) and violone, a bass member of the string family. The music is indeed pleasing, entertaining, brilliant, reminiscent of high class conversation. Played on period instruments by Musica Elegentia, an Italian group specialized in 16-18th century instrumental music.
