Outstanding performances by Maya Magub and Judith Busbridge of Michael Haydn's (brother of Joseph) four duos for violin and viola, with the two composed as a favour by his friend, W A Mozart, when Michael Haydn had become too ill to complete the original commisssion for the six duos.

“They are a well-matched team, whose respective sonorities and temperaments blend pleasingly, resulting in performances that sound for the most part freshly minted and invigorating...Magub and Busbridge are adroit and direct in the lively outer movements and find contrasting expressive depth in the slow central sections....There's plenty of spirited and compelling music-making to savour”
