His instrumental music - ranging from small ensemble pieces to concertos and symphonies - enjoyed immense international popularity until the tides slowly shifted with the onset of the Revolution. The clever and versatile Pleyel adapted skillfully: while he wrote a few pieces of homage for the new French rulers, he largely stayed true to the classical style of his predecessors, all the while establishing a reputation in Paris as a publisher and piano maker. Today, interest in his classically structured works has understandably been rekindled. Thanks to their refined elegance and fluidity, their architectural balance, and - especially in the case of the popular viola concerto - their considerable virtuosity, this music has nothing to fear from comparison with the great names of the era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Symphony No. 18 in E flat major B 139~Adagio - Allegro spiritoso \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Symphony No. 18 in E flat major B 139~Andante \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Symphony No. 18 in E flat major B 139~Minuetto \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Symphony No. 18 in E flat major B 139~Finale.
