In the brilliant demanding Double Concerto two sides of Holst’s character find expression the mystical and reticent balancing the physical and audacious. Audiences gave the piece a mixed reception on its premiere in 1930 butlisteners of today would find in the bitonality and contrapuntal textures a musical language with which they are conversant. The three-movement piece I Scherzo II Lament II Variations on a Ground is arranged here for twoViolins with rehearsal Piano with comments by the composer’s daughter.

Par BRUCE-WEBER RENATE. The World Tour' has emerged from the practical work with a budding children's orchestra. The collection consists of both well-known songs and songs from the children's home countries. It is suitable as a first introduction into chamber music playing. By using different techniques (pizzicato, con sordino, solo and tutti), a colourful string orchestra setting is created which forms a beautiful sound image for a children's orchestra. To enable the children to grasp the melodic parts as songs, the song text has been added, whenever possible./ Recueil / 2 Violons et Piano
