This new release presents two early romantic Violin Concertos and a Symphony by two German composers. Ernst von Gemmingen wrote four violin concertos, the first two are included here and interpreted by Kolja Lessingnn Matthias Sperger regarded Haydn’s ‘Farewell’ Symphony as so original that he wrote a counterpart to it. In his ‘Arrival’ Symphony a violin duo initially sits on the stage, and the other musicians gradually join these two until the whole orchestra has gathered.
