Very nice work with the video editing--delightfully synchronized with the music!

I have some of Ditterdorf's Symphonies that illustrate the Roman poet Ovid's 'Metamorphoses" -they are delightful.

Was this issued on disc by that old, cheap Pilz label? I think they went out in the late 1990s, but luckily I grabbed a tonne of them when they were around. Almost never the best version of any piece, but there are a couple of exceptions. Like this one! Their sound quality ranged from mediocre to atrocious, but sometimes there were real gems to be had. I still have about 20 or so Pilz discs to this day in my permanent collection that are "Never Give Ups". If this is from the Pilz CD, I have the very same one. It's just in a box from when I moved house so I can't check easily. But I do think that they issue/re-issued a lot of stuff on a, shall we say,... uhm... well, I hope they had deals with the original producers, let's just say that. I got a strong piracy vibe from that label: super cheap jewel case, cheap paper inliners with any art being in black&white, no notes or information, and I could never track down any information on the company. Just did a bit of Googling and still don't think I'm finding the exact same Pilz. I found _A_ Pilz defunct record label, but it doesn't seem the same company I'm thinking of.

I have an excerpt of this concerto in a 2-CD set by Pilz published in the early 90's, called "Barock-Festival" (Vol. 1 & 2). It belongs to the Vienna Master Series. The excerpt is on vol 1 (that is, CD 1), and it is only the first movement (Allegro molto). Marga Scheurich-Henschel at the Harpsichord, along with the Solistes de Marseille, conducted by Klaus-Peter Hahn. And... Yes, it is Pilz Compact Disc, in Kranzberg, Germany.
