Gaetano Brunetti was an Italian composer of the Classical era who was employed at the royal court of Spain, for the most part writing symphonies and chamber works. A small number of Brunetti's compositions were published in his lifetime, and of these, his symphonies have attracted the most attention from period ensembles and have occasionally appeared on CD. This 2015 release by Gustavo Sánchez and Camerata Antonio Soler presents three works Brunetti composed in the reign of Charles III, the Symphony No. 9 in D major, the Symphony No. 21 in E flat major, and the Symphony No. 29 in C major, and they are played with rococo elegance in historically informed style.
