Wolfram Christ can be a boring performer (witness a deadpan Berlioz Harold in Italy with Maazel), but these works seem to suit him perfectly.
The J.C. Bach Concerto (is *that* really J.C. Bach???) is quite splashy, especially witness the final movement. It's very exciting, and definitely worth exploring, with a tuneful first movement, and a lovely second. The first theme of I comes back to haunt in III, making it a "cyclical" work.
The Stamitz is well known to any violist, and is a very rewarding concerto, regardless of the instrumentation.
One reviewer stated that these works are not "virtuosic". That's a judgment made from the twentieth (twenty-first!) century: in their time, these works were considered to be very much the fare of virtuosos. The attitude that only modern or romantic works can be virtuosic (vis-a-vis the viola literature) miss the point. In any case, even music without lots of notes or string crossing, double stops, etc., is MUCH harder to perform; witness Mozart, where so many performers spin notes but don't make music. Conversely, virtuosic affairs by Sarasate or Paganini may have all of the fireworks, but no soul–the performer only need play all the notes.
Anyway, I'm off the track. Explore this recording; it's rewarding!
