Capela Real, dir Stephen Bull
Description: 

An example of how horns were utilized in 18th century sinfonias. Composers in Vienna, Dresden, and other German cities had used horns in their orchestras for some time, and introduced them to Italian instrumental music after the War of Spanish Succession, when Naples came under the power of Austria.
