Vincent (Vincenzo) Gambaro (17??-18??):

Quatuor Concertant in E Flat Major (d'après compositions de Ludwig van Beethoven)

"Wind bands proliferated throughout early 19th-century Europe, providing charming if largely undemanding light entertainment in noble households. These four of Gambaro’s 16 quartets, fluently played and very subtly balanced, are delightfully unpretentious yet with moments of witty and delightful invention."
George Pratt (BBC Music Magazine)
