Review title: Pleasant, if Unremarkable
Product review: I'd still rate Herschel's discovery of Uranus as more important than the composition of these symphonies, but if the latter are down to earth rather than cosmic, they are nonetheless both energetic and soothing as well as a lot of fun. Taken as a whole, this disc is like so many early Classical compilations -- delightful at the time and leaving a nice glow, even if you can't quite hum the details afterward. The six symphonies were written by Herschel in the early 1760s, when he was approaching his mid-twenties. There's nothing terribly special about them, but they are, as I've said, nice little works that can delight. Matthias Bamert leads the London Mozart Players in performances that are polished and nicely recorded, just like the other discs in this series of music by Mozart's contemporaries. If you already have at least one disc of short symphonies by those contemporaries, you may not need this, but there's certainly no harm in owning it.
