Sorry, it may seem a tautology!
But the music MUST be heard to be rediscovered, it's not sufficient to talk about it!
So if an orchestra can make hear that very music noone can hears otherwise, that's a (REAL) rediscovery [& performs it in public concerts]!
Typical problem of lesser-known composers!

3-GALUPPI'S 240TH: CINESERIE BY GALUPPI, IMAGE OF A FAIRY TALE WORLD OF GREAT LUXURY
Even though some criticized Chinese lavish costumes of this production, THEY WERE RIGHT! In 18thc #China was idealized world of luxury, & OFTEN ARISTOCRATS PLAYED CHINESE!

Yes but their music is extremely rarely performed!
@AAMOrchestra is one of few orchestras which managed to have music of these composers inRepertoire!
Just look at Bachtrack, tell me how many concerts you find every year with music by these composers???
@mozartcircle.bsky.social is right doing this!
