The hallmarks of Franz Xaver Richter's mature style are already evident in the Six Grandes Symphonies published in 1744, several years before he joined the celebrated musical establishment at the Mannheim court. The fast movements possess a driving intensity which owes much of its power to the frequent employment of contrapuntal devices, while the slow movements are rich in expressive harmonies and unexpected melodic twists. These symphonies are the first of a set of twelve, originally published in Paris in two groups of six.
Reviews
Audio 09/07: "Es gibt noch viel mehr zu entdecken: tänzerischen Schwung und ausdrucksstarke Melodien. Das finnische Orchester spielt frisch, präzise und sensibel auf."M.Hengelbrock in FonoForum 10/07: "Mitreißende Spielfreude kommt hier ebenso zum Zug wie eine klare Durchdringung des Kontrapunkts oder eine emotionale Unterfütterung der Melodien. Mit ihrer perfekten Balance von Verstand und Gefühl leisten die Finnen dem vernachlässigten Mannheimer einen großen Dienst."
