Carl Stamitz is one of the most important composers of concertante symphonies, with 38 known works. The Sinfonia concertante was a hybrid form between symphony and concerto popular in the 1760s and 1770s. One model may have been the Baroque concerto grosso, in which a group of soloists alternated with the orchestral tutti. In the sinfonia concertante, there are always at least two soloists facing the orchestra. The concertante differs from the symphony in the number of movements; many are only in two movements, but none are more than three. As in the concerto, tutti and solo sections are juxtaposed in the Sinfonia concertante, with the difference that here the orchestral tutti is usually given a larger share. Thus the Sinfonia concertante combines the large orchestral sound with the possibilities for the instrumentalists to show their virtuosity and brilliance. In Carl Stamitz's oeuvre, the three-movement works predominate, to which the works recorded here also belong. The majority of them were written in Paris in the 1770s and most of them were printed there. The use of two solo instruments is the rule with Stamitz, especially often the combination of violin and violoncello, but he also composed works with up to seven solo instruments. His contributions to the genre are closer to the concerto than to the symphony; they could well be called group concerts. In the section of his book Ideen zu einer Ästhetik der Tonkunst dedicated to Carl Stamitz, Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart went into raptures, so highly did he esteem the performer, composer and man: "Stamitz the son, the most famous violist in Germany, and one of our most amiable composers. [...] One finds so much truth, so much beauty and grace in his movements that he is generally recognized in Germany, Italy, France and England as a pupil of the Graces. His symphonies also have a peculiar character: they are full of splendor and harmony. Especially his Andante are masterly - a consequence of his soulful heart
