ANTONÍN VRANICKY (1761-1820): Cello Concerto in D Minor, ANTONÍN KRAFT (1749-1820): Cello Concerto in C, Op. 4, CARL STAMITZ (1745-1801): Cello Concerto No. 2 in A.

Description: Vranicky's only cello concerto (he was a violinist) has the catchiest or second-catchiest tune in its finale of all concertos (but that's just my humble opinion); Kraft's most striking movement is its golden opening one - trumpets and drums make for a really festive opening to the orchestral introduction and the rest of the concerto isn't forgettable either...
