VIENNA DOUBLE BASS CONCERTOS
WORLD PREMIERE RECORDINGS!
The works recorded here present examples of the Viennese bass concerto from its early period of the mid 1760’s to its heyday around 1785. All were written for the specially-tuned Viennese bass. While the Pichl and Hoffmeister concertos are premiere recordings, Vanhal’s well-known work is recorded here for the first time on a Viennese bass. The instrument used dates from 1729 and was made by Johann Christoph Leidolff (1690-1785). One of Vienna’s foremost violin makers, the Leidolff workshop was also responsible for keeping the instruments and bows of the Esterházykapelle in good repair.
