Background: Known as 'The Spanish Mozart' after his premature death at the age of 19, Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga appears to us today as a talent of great promise. The precocious Symphony for large orchestra in D, a forerunner of Bizet's youthful Symphony in C, inhabits a world somewhere between Mozart and the early Romanticism of Beethoven.

Completing the disc are works by a group of composers who illustrate a rare continuity in Portuguese music, from the prolific Carlos Seixas, highly esteemed by Scarlatti, to the two most important Portuguese operatic composers, João de Sousa Carvalho and Marcos Portugal.
