Hofmann/ Cicchitti - Six Divertimenti Op. 1

World Premiere Recording of a sophisticated and elegant collection of gallant String Trios. Leopold Hofmann, pupil of Wagenseil, was a major figure in the late 18th Century Vienna. A new meaningful find by the ever investigating Musica Elegentia and it's leader Matteo Cicchitti. Their previous release (CC 72896 - Wagenseil: Six Trios) was widely acclaimed by critic. 5 stars by Classica (FR): "A top-notch performance." Musicweb (UK): "Well played and recorded, delightful music by a Viennese composer still too often overlooked." 5 stars by Pizzicato (DE).
