Label: CHRISTOPHORUS Catalog: CHR77342 Format: CD Laurence Dean, transverse flute; Hannoversche HofkapelleFranz Benda (1709-1786) Both C.P.E. Bach and Franz Benda were composers who enjoyed the favour of the court of Frederick the Great and who developed a highly individual and lasting style of music in the monarch's service. Though "Old Fritz" demanded works in the pleasing galant style for his almost daily music sessions from his court musicians, Franz Benda succeeded in humouring the king without stooping to compose works of little value.
