Description: Recent interest in the "father of the symphony" by a couple of record labels has presumably led to the reissue at mid-price of this valuable cycle of practically all of the "early" Sammartini symphonies (up to about 1732) from almost 15 years ago. 3 CDs. I Giovani di Nuova Cameristica; Daniele Ferrari. Original 1994 Nuova Era releases.
