Spar ingly scored, these miniatures are full of surprise and delight. The work consists of nine short sections played continuously. In Mixture 1 Incantation, linear counterpoint for high woodwind and low strings is interspersed by distinctive brass figures and percussion motives. A brief Solo for double bass leads into Interlude 1 where harmonic writing is broken by short woodwind fragments before Duet where a simple rhythmic cell is developed by the brass instruments. Mixture 2 Exultation alternate block chords with active rhythmic activity. The Trio for flute, clarinet and percussion is followed by Interlude 2 where woodwind and string counterpoint is interrupted by static chords. After a short Quartet for trumpet and strings, Mixture 3 Apotheosis combines the techniques of the earlier movements. An original and rewarding work.

The main movements, introitus and gradual, have distinctive central ideas – the manic string crossing chaos of the first and the rather more introspective and mellifluous material of the second. Both movements are, in essence, dramatic and the performance should be as energetic and physical as possible.

T his multimedia opera in six scenes grew out of the composer's six graphic images (Graphische Blätter) based on the concept of the bypassed human (Der übergangene Mensch). Der übergangene Mensch kämpft, leidet, fühlt und liebt, hasst, resigniert, entblösst die Symbole. Es gibt keinen Handlungsablauf, es gibt generell Darstellungen in Wort, Ton, Klang, Bewegung, Aktion die sich Ausdruck verleihen und sich szenisch an die diversen Charakteristiken der grafisch strukturierten Bilder anlehnen.

Giov anni Vitali's set of twelve sonatas Op. 5 for various combinations of strings and continuo, published in 1669, was the Bolognese composer's most ambitious collection of chamber music to date. He most likely wrote it as an application piece for membership of the prestigious Accademia Filarmonica, for each sonata has a dedicatory subtitle bearing the name of one of the city's noblemen. This second volume of Martin Perkins's scholarly performing edition contains five works – the sonatas for two violins, violone and organ continuo.

The present set of three string quartets, published in Vienna in 1799 by André, are arranged from two violin sonatas and a piano trio; a certain independence is noticeable in the anonymous arranger, but the result is three strikingly effective new quartets to add to the Mozart oeuvre which will delight all players familiar with the originals and prove a gracious alternative to quartets who look for some escape from the familiar and over exposed repertoire.

Thou gh primarily known as an opera composer, Giovanni Paisiello did not neglect the instrumental repertoire. His Capriccio in D minor, written in St Petersburg for his pupil the Grand Duchess Maria Feodorovna and first published c.1799, is a fine example of this Southern Italian composer's keyboard style.

A solemn introductory Grave where the solo violin occasionally breaks out from the repeated chords with short cantabile sections, is followed by a fluent Allegro with difficult sounding passage work, excellently written for the violin. An emotive Grave recitative leads into the final Allegro which arrests attention by the simple device of alternating triplets with semiquaver passages. Eminently suited to amateur and school orchestras!

The present concerto, RV 762, is here published for the first time in its original key and in an edition based on an authoritative source. It is one of numerous concertos by Vivaldi known to have been played by Anna Maria, the most celebrated of the many remarkable performers produced by the Ospedale della Pietà, the Venetian charitable institution with which the composer was associated for much of his career. And yet it is, besides RV 286 in F major, the only violin concerto of his for which a source inscribed with the name of the virtuosa has survived complete.

In these amplifications of three of Haydn's best known string quartets, Op. 71, Wranitzky expanded the ensemble to nine players by adding flute, oboe, two horns and double bass, making it one of the larger divertimento scorings for the period. First published in 1800, but overlooked by performers ever since, they are now issued here as a 3 volume set in full score with set of parts.
