With an exciting opening sighing love-themes and two rhythmic dances which capture the atmosphere of the vibrant Elizabethan court this contrasted suite will stir players' and audiences' imagination and take flight.

For 10 players-These mature and well-crafted pieces for an ensemble of ten players showcase Coult’s ear for beguiling burnished sonorities and his ability to harness the most complex of technical devices to rich emotional ends. Whilst his musical schemas are often audacious and innovative the security and light touch with which Coult carries them out ensures that his Four Perpetual Motions are always as expressive as they are impressive. Coult was one of the winners of the 2012 Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize and was consequently commissioned to write this 13-minute work for the Philharmonia’s Music of Today Series.Scoredfor: fl.ob.cl - tpt - perc(1): vib/mar/glsp/crot/2 bongos - harp - vln.vla.vlc.db

for 2 Violins Viola Basso and 2 Horns-Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's A Musical Joke is filled with intentional mistakes by the composer who inserted odd notes into this amusing and mischievous piece in order to take an angry side-swipe atdilettante composer-colleagues of his time whose lack of imagination and artless compositional technique are here mercilessly demonstrated - the piece was not intended to parody musicians who play wrong notes as its later title?Village Musicians? suggests.

Par RANDS BERNARD. This string quartet is in one continuous movement of fifteen sections, with each section being a ’transcription’ of the music in a previous section. In these transcriptions the changes can be somewhat minimal – a slight altering of register, dynamics, rhythms, or more radical resulting in new harmonic and contrapuntal relationships. With this compositional method Rands aims to create a continuous self-referential musical discourse that allows for recall and even repetition. String Quartet No. 3 was commissioned for the Ying Quartet by the Institute for American Music at the Eastman School of Music./ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

Music Minus One Cello Deluxe 2-CD Set-Franz Josef haydn's beautiful Concerto in C major for Violoncello and orchestra is a treat as well as an absolute requirement for any serious cellist. Strangely though it lay dormant and unknown in a Prague library until it was dicovered in 1961 and brought to light after nearly two hundred years! Since its reintroduction it has become one of the most popular of all violoncello concerti and deservedly so. This concerto was most likely written in the mid-1760s while Haydn was Kapellmeister to Prince Esterhazy. Its splendid memorable themes perfectly showcase the solo instrument against a beautifully and sensitively orchestrated backdrop all of which come together toillustrate Papa Haydn's mastery of form melody and orchestration. Its lovely classical charm beautifully captured here by virtuoso roman Wiszniowski and the Plovdiv Philharmonic will enchant you from beginning to end. Then play it yourself with maestro Todorov and the Plovdiv Philharmonic as your accompanists! This MMO learning and performance edition of one of the great classical cello masterpieces is not to be missed!
