Holzbauer: Quintet in B flat for fortepiano; Quintet in G for fortepiano, flute & strings; Sinfonia in G; Divertimento in D

Ignaz Holzbauer (1711-83), one of the most important musicians of his time, worked at Mannheim and other major centres. These pieces show his urbanity and skill, but none is a work of genius. The performances and recording are most pleasing. Terry Barfoot
