There are composers whose oeuvres shine so radiantly that other stars almost pale next to their splendor. This fate befell a whole epoch of composers, i.e. The 'maestros of the Mozart period.' But, beside Mozart's 'sun' there is so much to discover. Franz Anton Hofmeister and Antonio Rosetti take up a musical fashion of the 18th century: the 'hunting symphony'. With Franti�ek Benda, Johann Baptist Vanhal and Leopold Kozeluch, we can hear a group of composers who ranked among the most influential maestros of their time. Joseph Martin Kraus, also named as "The Swedish Mozart", Pedro �tienne Sol�re and of course Antonio Salieri complete this double album program which shows us that these Masters have no reason to hide in the shadow of Mozart.
