Ordinary violin sonatas formed the backbone of the series of ten collections that the Italian violinist Michel Mascitti (1663/4–1760), born in southern Italy but permanently resident in Paris from 1703, committed to print between 1704 and 1738. His Op. 7 (1727) opens with eight such sonatas but ends with four concertos for strings in six parts that, alongside a collection of concertos for five flutes (!) by J.B. de Boismortier published in the same year, inaugurate the proud tradition of concertos created on French soil. Amazingly, Mascitti’s concertos have been neglected not merely by publishers and performers but also by commentators. In particular, the first two concertos display great musical merit in an original idiom that combines Italian and French influences in a very personal way. Further, their Italianate elements juxtapose features familiar from the concertos of Corelli, Mascitti’s reputed teacher, with ones more usually associated with Vivaldi. Both concertos are laden with emotion, albeit never at the expense of the polish and attention to detail that are the hallmark of Mascitti’s craft.

As one of the most prolific composers ever to have lived G.F. Handel's (1683-1759) catalogue is extensive. Moreover, being an organist himself, his Organ works are significant and remain ever-popular to this day. Handel's Organ Concertos remain some of his most popular and best loved works and so, when French organist, Marcel Dupre (1886-1971) compiled the series of Handel's Organ Concertos, it was well-received, and to this day remains popular with all organists. The second volume includes the seventh-twelfth concertos. In addition, Dupre's annotations in the Organ Concertos comprise fingerings, and a detailed preface in French, English and German. This compilation of Handel's most loved compositions for the Organ cannot be missed by aspiring performers of the instrument..

The so-called 'Anna Maria Partbook' consists of an elegantly bound volume in red leather containing the violin part of 31 highly virtuoso violin concertos, 26 of which are by Vivaldi. The collection represents the personal repertoire of the Venetian composer's most gifted pupil, the famous 'Anna Maria della Pieta', who also played the viola d'amore, mandolin, theorbo and harpsichord. Twenty of the Vivaldi concertos are known from other manuscript sources and are therefore familiar to us in their complete versions. The remaining six -- three for violin and three for violin and organ -- are unique to the Anna-Maria Partbook, and, because they are incomplete, have not hitherto been part of the Vivaldi performing canon. Now, as a result of Federico Maria Sardelli's rigorous musicological research and painstaking work of reconstruction based on many concordant sources, we are at last able to enjoy these six concertos in startlingly persuasive realizations.
