Life Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf was born in Vienna as Carl Ditters. was a Viennese contemporary of Haydn and Mozart The composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Joseph Haydn were friends. Their relationship is not very well documented, but the evidence that they enjoyed each other's company and greatly respected each other's work is strong. , and his music is almost as charming, vivacious, and diverse as the middle period of either of his fellow composers. Dittersdorf's Sinfonia sin·fo·ni·a n. 1. An instrumental composition serving as an overture, as to an opera or cantata, especially in the 18th century. 2. A symphonic composition. in D minor is especially delicious. What's more, the Failoni Orchestra under conductor Uwe Grodd play the pieces delightfully, and Naxos has captured them in clean, light, and airy sound, with just a touch of resonance to establish verisimilitude. Couple this with an excellent set of insert notes, and the disc becomes one more distinguished addition to "The 18th Century Symphony" line from Naxos. Highly recommended. |
