Info zu Gossec: Symphonies
François-Joseph Gossec was born on 17 January 1734 (two years after Haydn) at Vergnies in the Netherlands province of Hainault, and died on 16 February 1829 (two months after Schubert) at Passy, near Paris; his Walloon peasant family name had numerous different spellings, ranging from Gaussé to Gossez via Gossec. His musical aptitude was recognized early, and when he was about six he was sent to the collegiate church at Walcourt, near Charleroi. Soon after this his name is listed as a singer in the chapel of St Aldegonde in Maubeuge, and while there he joined the chapel of St Pierre and studied violin, harpsichord, harmony and counterpoint with Jean Vanderleben. In 1749 he was admitted as a chorister in the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Antwerp, where he continued his musical studies with André- Joseph Blavier.
Early in 1751 he went to Paris, armed with a letter of introduction to the great Jean-Philippe Rameau, who was then director of the private orchestra maintained by the fermier-général Le Riche de la Pouplinière, a wealthy patron of the arts.
Gossec joined the orchestra as a violinist, and became acquainted with the works of the Mannheim school through Johann Stamitz, who took over the direction of the orchestra from Rameau in 1754. Gossec succeeded Stamitz as director a year later, and after la Pouplinière’s death in 1762 became director of music at the private theatre of Louis- Joseph de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, at Chantilly, and remained there for eight years. In 1769 he founded the Concert des amateurs, which quickly acquired a reputation as one of the best orchestras in Europe and made a feature of commissioning new works and introducing distinguished guest artists. ...

The London Mozart Players also regularly plays music of this century and has commissioned and given the first performances of many works by British composers.
