Virtuosi Saxoniae, Ludwig Guttler - J.M. Haydn: Serenade in D (2007)

Johann Michael Haydn never quite reached the fame of his older brother Joseph, but still introduced an impressive oeuvre into the classical repertoire. J. M. Haydns Serenade in D was composed in Salzburg in 1767. The ten movement work displays Haydns affinity for chamber compositions. Founded in 1986, the Virtuosi Saxoniae is made up of principal members of the Dresden Staatskapelle. The ensemble concerns itself with 18th century European music, devoting themselves to the great figures of the Hasse era.
