Colin de Blamont Occasional Works Consistently Entertain
Although these were occasional works, they did have staying power. "Le Retour de Dieux sur la Terre" premiered in 1725. It was performed either in its entirety or in excerpts for the Queen through 1748.
And they still entertain today. Especially with these performances.
FX Dussek Symphonies -- Comfort Music
I found these symphonies thoroughly enjoyable. Comfort food isn't gourmet dining, but it makes you feel good when you eat it. Dussek isn't Mozart, but his music made me feel good when I heard it.
