Editor's info:
Jakub Jan Ryba (26 October 1765–8 April 1815) was not only a composer, but also a philosopher, poet, translator, literal and musical theoretician and an educator. However, his complex heritage had to wait for its rediscovery for two centuries. In 2016 the publishing company Nibiru Publishers released his Latin Stabat Mater and was awarded a prestigious international prize Diapason Découverte for the recording. In 2019 the same company released a CD with Ryba´s sacred music and thus confirmed its significant role in the “birth” of Jakub Jan Ryba Festival which has been taking complex care of Ryba´s musical legacy since 2018. This CD with instrumental concertos released in 2020 rounds off the trilogy of Ryba´s recordings with Nibiru Publishers.

The amount of Ryba´s preserved works for instruments is not big: out of many compositions of this kind there are only three violin concerts, Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra in C and Concerto for Horn and Orchestra in D sharp left.
