The booklet notes for this album say nothing about the music included; instead they describe the annual concert series at a twelfth century German monastery of which this live performance was part, and discuss the performers heard here. To learn more about the music, one is directed toward a website that turns out (at this writing, at least) not ...
This double CD offers six concertos for two horns, as well as one concerto for three horns and a sextet for two horns and string quartet, all dating from the late eighteenth century.
