Joseph Leopold Eybler had frequent contacts with the great composers of his day: both Joseph Haydn and Albrechtsberger were his teachers and friends, and he had a close friendship with Mozart and Johann Michael Haydn. His major Christmas oratorio Die Hirten bei der Krippe zu Bethlehem (1794) was composed four years before Haydn's Die Schopfung (The Creation). The almost operatic work displays a wealth of different facets: from the virtuoso aria, through the tranquil depiction of nature in music, to the portrayal of the most heartfelt emotions. As a true jewel of Viennese classicism, Die Hirten (The Shepherds) is a worthwhile addition to the Christmas repertoire. Score and part available separately - see item CA.9700700.

“An educationalist of renown, Viola player Valérie Bime-Apparailly (born in 1962 in Bordeaux) is the author of numerous beginner methods for string instruments that have met with unflagging success. The second volume of the series Je Débute L?Alto once again takes up the challenge of the first collection: to combine precision with the pleasure of playing. To do this, each chapter starts with a short sequence of exercises enabling pupils to approach the pieces with serenity and concentration. Reduced to their simplest expression, the theoretical explanations are accompanied by sketches that enhance their clarity. The album comes with a playback CD containing recordings of the different pieces. A relaxed eclecticism runs through the work: illustrious classics such as the Habanera from Carmen or the Variations sur ?Ah ! Vous dirai-je Maman? (?Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?) by Mozart can be found alongside Un éléphant, ça trompe énormément and Rock?n?roll des Gallinacés. Education is an art form.”.
