Themes are well chosen and adeptly developed; orchestration is nicely handled, more than adequately balanced and frequently clever…and the overall impression of all four works is of music partaking of the lighter side of Haydn or Dittersdorf. None of these pieces stands out for depth of expression or any particular intensity, although the four-movement sinfonia in B-flat is longer and somewhat more fully worked out than the three in three movements. There is considerable charm in this music, including the charm of rediscovering a skilled musical craftsman of Mozart's time; and the very fine performances on this Naxos CD certainly give the music its full due. --Infodad.com
