For more than 25 years, Holzbauer was music director at the court of Mannheim, the musical center of the pre-classical period. His fame is due to his many operas, but he also wrote over 205 works in a variety of genres. However, most of his works have been lost, and the chamber music pieces played vividly by Camerata Cologne in this album serve as good samples of Holzbauer's rich world of works. In particular, the quintets he left behind have significant significance in music history due to their complete harpsichord parts.
