This Naxos release sees fortepianists James Tibbles and Michael Tsalka perform four handed arrangements of three of Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf's lost “Ovid” symphonies. Initially conceived as an epic 15 symphony project inspired by stories from Ovid's Metamorphoses, only six survive fully orchestrated, but three still exist in keyboard arrangement and are presented here: Ajax et Ulysse, Hercule changé en Dieu, and Jason, qui emporte la toison d'or. Though they were not what Dittersdorf's originally had in mind, these programmatic arrangements have richness and fire, as well as being historically interesting responses to a Classical text.
