• In his lifetime Wenzel Pichl was esteemed as one of the foremost European composers of the age. A friend of Dittersdorf, whose works exerted a strong influence on his development, Pichl wrote symphonies that rank among the most interesting of the period.



• The symphonies featured on this recording, all of which were composed in the 1760s and take as their subject mythical figures from classical antiquity, reveal a composer of flair and rich in technical resourcefulness.



• These delightful symphonies, appropriately based on the Muses of Greek mythology, are expertly interpreted by the Toronto Chamber Orchestra, who have previously been praised by Gramophone for their “enthusiasm, decent restraint and good response to nuance.”
