"This disc gives a very fine introduction to the music of these highly gifted brothers. Their compositions are served very well by Il Gardellino." --MusicWeb International
Franz Benda (1709-1786) worked for much of his life at the court of Frederick the Great. He was a prolific composer but very few of his works were published. His brother Georg (1722-1795) received a similar education as choirboy, violinist and harpsichordist. Il Gardellino was founded in 1988 and its members are specialists in performance on early instruments.
