Mysliveček - Violin Concertos Vol.1 & 2

Josef Mysliveček (9 March 1737 – 4 February 1781) was a Czech composer who contributed to the formation of late eighteenth-century classicism in music. In all, he wrote twenty-six opere serie, among his other pieces were oratorios, symphonies, concertos, and chamber music, including some of the earliest known string quintets composed with two violas. He was also one of the most gifted and most prolific composers of eighteenth-century symphonies. Mysliveček's compositions evoke a gracious, diatonic style. His best works are characterized by melodic inventiveness, logical continuity, and a certain emotional intensity that may be attributable to his dynamic personality.
