Salamone Rossi occupies a unique place in Renaissance music culture: he was the earliest outstanding Jewish composer to work in the European music tradition. Working for the Gonzaga dukes in Mantua, yet remaining faithful to his own religious community, Rossi's life provides unique insights on life during the Renaissance and on such contemporary questions as how individuals respond to competing cultural influences.

The three selections in this edition of quartet arrangements of Beethoven’s symphonies are chosen to represent the diversity of quartets as a medium for arrangement in the early nineteenth century. Only the arrangement by Carl Zulehner, of Beethoven’s first symphony, is a string quartet. The arrangement by Johann Nepomuk Hummel of Beethoven’s fifth symphony, for pianoforte, flute, violin, and violoncello (or pianoforte alone), is part of an extensive collection of arrangements that he made for that grouping, while the arrangement for piano quartet by Ferdinand Ries of the Eroica Symphony represents the particular popularity of chamber groupings involving stringed instruments and piano.
