'Matthias Bamert's lively direction and the higly professional playing of the London Mozart Players provide Herschel with the best imaginable advocacy...'
Gramophone

This latest release in Chandos' Contemporaries of Mozart series features premiere recordings of music by Sir William Herschel.

This intriguing eighteenth-century composer is better known as the astronomer who discovered the planet Uranus.

Chandos' unique Contemporaries of Mozart series has been much praised for its high standards of musicianship and recording, as well as for making available a wealth of undeservedly neglected music. Several discs in the series have been featured as Gramophone 'Editor's Choice'.
