Description: Only the Sym. No. 16 is otherwise available on CD and this is the only Baguer performed on period instruments, making this new (2009) release a must-have for collectors of Classical symphonies. No. 16 was once attributed to Haydn as was the C major symphony recorded here; this may not be by Baguer but is almost certainly by a Catalonian composer. 13 pages of exhaustive (and surprisingly well-translated) notes accompany the disc. Acadèmia 1750/ Orquestra Històrica del Festival de Torroella; Farran James.
