Konzerte : Stabat Mater, Sinfonie (1992)

"It sometimes seems a misfortune that the latter half of the eighteenth century saw three musical titans -- Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven -- arrive in such close proximity to one another. For the deserved, but sometimes overdone, adoration afforded that trio has allowed a corresponding under-appreciation of a handful of lesser but highly-gifted composers. Johann Baptist Vanhal (or Wanhal) was without a doubt one of the century's finer musicians, precious little attention has been paid him, and a thorough list of his works has never been managed. Vanhal's music was much-loved in Vienna and much-published in both Paris and Vienna during his lifetime, and there are hundreds of works to his credit." (Allmusic)
