Concert Rarities from the Pleyel Museum, Vol. 13

IGNAZ PLEYEL (1757-1831): Grande Symphonie in F, Benton 140, Violin Concerto in D, Benton 103A, JAN KRTITEL VANHAL (1739-1813): Piano Concerto in C, C4.

Description: Since the two Pleyel works have appeared at least twice on other labels already (Naxos, ORF, Hungaroton, Bayer), the main event here is the Vanhal concerto which has no other recording available. Although no date is provided in the otherwise extensive, well-translated and well-written notes, it's very much like hearing a newly discovered Haydn or early Mozart piano concerto. Dianne Baar (piano), Raimund Lissy (violin), Ignaz Joseph Pleyel Orchestra; Johannes Klumpp.
