"This edition brings together major works from four substantial repertories of orchestral serenades emanating from musical centers in South Germany and Austria. Part 1 presents works by Munich composers Wolfgang Kirmayr (d. 1795), Augustin Holler (1744-1814), and Joseph Willibald Michl (1745-1816). ... Each of these works is of a high musical quality and represents distinctive features of its particular repertory, illuminating in different ways how composers in these four musical centers responded to the requirements of writing a serenade. All works contain some degree of concertante orchestration, including a two-movement concerto cycle for solo violin in Hafeneder's serenade. The stylistic breadth ranges from the chamber-music intimacy and galant idiom of Kirmayr to the strongly symphonic style of Pokorny, and the more fully mature classicism of Rosetti." --
