 It is quite possible that I'll be introducing you to a composer whose music you have not heard before. His name is Jozef Schmitt, S-C-H-M-I-T-T. He was known as the Dutch Haydn, born just two years after Haydn, rather prolific at writing symphonies, and at a very high level. I think you'll be surprised by this. This is a symphony from 1769, published in Amsterdam. It's subtitled The Hurdy-Gurdy Symphony, and this is Simon Murphy leading the new Dutch Academy Chamber Soloists.
