Three surprisingly beautiful and musically exciting Divertimenti for winds and strings by Joseph Haydn, and a Divertimento for oboe, viola and double bass by his younger brother Michael. Performed by members of the renowned Schönbrunn Ensemble on period instruments on the basis of the original manuscripts and first editions from Haydn's time. Very seldom recorded works and hard to find played on original instruments. So this album not only offers the re-discovery of some absolutely wonderful compositions, but also stylish and inspired performances of repertoire that will be of great interest to listeners in general.
