During the 18th-century Classical period, the genre known as the “concerto sinfonia”—which combined an orchestra with multiple soloists (sometimes written for as many as nine)—gained immense popularity by incorporating elements of the symphony, solo concertos, and divertimentos. It gained immense popularity through the interplay of the soloists’ dazzling virtuosity and the symphony’s rich texture. This album features three concerto symphonies composed by Viennese composers active in the late 18th century—Mozart, Pleyel, and Holzbauer—with the soloists being the principal players of the Basel Chamber Orchestra. The conductor is the orchestra’s principal guest conductor, Umberto Benedetti Michelangeli (the nephew of the renowned pianist). All three works are wonderfully refined, featuring impressive solo instrumental technique and melodies. Mozart’s concerto symphonies are performed using Robert Levin’s reconstructed version for “flute, oboe, bassoon, and horn.”\nSony Music\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Classical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525318271265,"sku":"889854117825","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/889854117825.jpg?v=1789730799","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/889854117825","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
