• Why is this music not heard more often? The Sammartinis may have been well-known during their live times, but their reputation did not prevent their works from disappearing into oblivion later on . Even if Giovanni Battista is considered the official ‘founder’ of the symphony, the Sammartinis’s music mainly survived in rare prints dispersed all over Europe.

• The name Sammartini may ring a bell with some better-informed music lovers. But who actually knows music by either of these brothers? Giuseppe, an oboist and Giovanni’s senior by five years, exchanged his native Italy for London when he was just over 30. His brother who played the organ remained in Italy all his life.

• This set of three CD’s presents chamber music by both Sammartinis. Especially the works by Giuseppe, the oboist, are delightful and refreshingly original. Even in the sonatas in which he employs just two (accompanied) recorders.

• Giovanni’s Notturnos bear witness to the composer’s originality and skill. They also reflect his mastery of writing instrumental music, especially for the flute. As such these small-scale pieces are all gems in their own right. A truly valuable addition to the chamber music repertoire in transition to the classical style.

• All three ensembles play on period instruments. The German or transverse flutes on CD 2 have been replaced by recorders for musical reasons. Most entertaining stuff.
