These works are all products of the years of Sperger's first employment as a double bassist, between 1777 and 1783, in the court orchestra of the archbishop of Hungary, the duke Joseph Graf von Batthyány in Pressburg. They date specifically from the years 1778 and 1779. The soloist uses gut strings, as was common practice at the time of the works' composition well over two hundred years ago, bringing out the warm sound of the instruments. To do justice to history and for the pleasure of today's audience the present recordings were made in the same auditorium as Johann Matthias Sperger first presented these concertos in: the \"Hall of Mirrors\" in the Primate's Palace of Bratislava (formerly Pressburg).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jan Krigovsky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41742798028871,"sku":"42657354","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4092648-3207706.jpg?v=1749182300","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/sperger-krigovsky-collegium-wartberg-430-double-bass-concertos-super-audio-cd","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
