Benda, Pichl, A.Vranický - Violin Concertos - Demeterová

"The name Benda is known to perhaps every music lover in our country (Czech Lands). It belonged to one of the most famous families to have ever represented Czech music abroad. (...) The weaver Jan Jiri Benda (...) occasionally played the oboe and cimbalon at folk dances. His wife Dorota was born into the Brixi family of teachers and musicians, and three of their five children - Frantisek, Jiri and Josef - became famous as musicians and composers.
(...) František Benda moved his entire family to Potsdam, thus gaining for the King another two superlative musicians - his brothers Jiri Antonín and Josef. Friederich II greatly esteemed Benda, who was to remain in the royal services until the end of his life - in 1772 he became concert master. (...)
Václav Pichl was a similarly distinguished ambassador of Czech music. (...) Between 1769 and 1770 he worked in Prague as a chapel-master with Count Hartig and subsequently accepted the post of first violinist at the Court Theatre in Vienna. Four years later he became the chapel-master of Archduke Ferdinand in Milan, where he stayed 21 years.
Antonín Vranický (1761-1820) was another Czech composer and violinist to connect his professional career and life with Vienna. (...) Vranickýs compositions grew out of the soil of High Classicism, yet some of them show distinct features of early Romanticism."
