Karl Stamitz: Symphony in D minor, Op. 15 No. 3
Cologne Academy, Michael Alexander Willens

From the pen of German composer Karl Stamitz (1745-1801) comes music that strikes me as listenable as the music of Mozart and Haydn. Michael Alexander Willens conducts the Cologne Academy in a performance of Symphony in D minor, Op. 15 No. 3.

The English virtuoso pianist Benjamin Grosvenor plays Franz Liszt’s piano transcription of Schubert’s famous Ave Maria, D. 839. You can find it on his 2021 Decca album Benjamin Grosvenor Liszt.
