Johann Friedrich Fasch made use of his excellent relationships and often exchanged sheet music with Pisendel in Dresden and Graupner in Darmstadt. Thanks to that many of his compositions survived in those two libraries. An interesting line up of the instruments combined with a great sense for sound and the individuality of the instruments is characteristic for his concertos. On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of Fasch's death II Gardellino recorded for this disc a selection of concertos found as autographs or copies in Dresden and Darmstadt.
