With this recording Bach Concentus under Ewald Demeyere wishes to devote itself to the subject, currently under-exposed, of the beginnings of the symphony as a genre. Whenever the term "early Classical symphony" is used one mostly thinks of the early compositions of Haydn and Mozart. Yet both before and during the time of their musical activity, a whole series of composers were busily engaged in writing symphonies. The Mannheim School had been established by Johann Stamitz (1717-1757), at the Viennese court Georg Christoph Wagenseil (1815-1777) and Florian Leopold Gassmann (1729-1774), among others, received plaudits for their symphonies and, at the same time, Pieter van Maldere (1729-1768) in the Netherlands earned his spurs as a composer of symphonies.

This recording aims to highlight the significant role the sons of the Thomas Cantor, Johann Sebastian Bach, also played in the development of the symphony. This music does not deserve to be viewed merely as a precursor of the "genuine" Classical symphony or as an intermediate phase between two superior stylistic periods, but should be judged on its own merits, and these are mostly very high.
