UH Brass Ensemble, Robin Browning Original works and arrangements blended together to create an exciting album of brass music adding several pieces to the repertoire. The University Brass Ensemble is an orchestral brass grouping rather than a brass band and consists of four trumpets, three French horns, three trombones and two tubas with timpani. This disc features both well known and new works, and includes pieces by Handel, Purcell, Schein, Burrell and Hugill. The CD was commissioned by the University of Hertfordshire to contain its ceremonial academic march, The Hatfield Procession and other similar music. Also included is a work commissioned from Howard Burrell for publisher Philip Sturrock’s wedding blessing ceremony in September 2000. Handel was a great composer for specific occasions and this disc features various movements from the Water Music along with the famous "La Rejouissance" from the Firework Music that all trumpet players love to play! Finally in a moment of relaxation the ensemble lets its hair down in a re-working of The Hatfield Procession. Hearing is believing! | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

The second in the Secret series of clavichord recitals by Christopher Hogwood is devoted to Georg Frederic Handel who began his musical life as a young boy by spiriting a clavichord up to his room unbeknownst to his father who pooh-poohed music as a career! This 2-CD set in a slimline case again uses three contemporary instruments and Hogwood in a wonderful performance reveals the secret musical world which Handel created. “Performing on three distinguished 18th-century German clavichords, all magnificently recorded, Hogwood is throughout an eloquent advocate…” BBC Music Magazine, April 2006 **** “Alas, 'The Secret Handel' does not unveil any salacious facts about the composer's sexual orientation or hitherto unsuspected illegitimate offspring.
However, Christopher Hogwood's illuminating booklet essay hints that the inclusion of a few short pieces by the Hallé organist Zachow and an aria and 24 variations by Krieger illustrate the kind of music that the young Handel might have copied in his long-lost manuscript keyboard book.
Also, Hogwood's use of clavichord reflects the famous story that the boy Handel, forbidden to learn music by his disapproving father, smuggled a clavichord into his attic in order to practice secretly during the night.
On the first disc, which includes a version of Handel's third keyboard suite ornamented by Gottlieb Muffat, Hogwood plays an instrument built by the Hamburg keyboard builder Johann Albrecht Hass in 1761. Its plangent yet warm textures produce a fascinating sound, utterly different from the familiar hard brilliance of harpsichords.
A fastidiously stylish performance of Aria and Variations in G ('The Harmonious Blacksmith') is a fine advocacy for the clavichord's virtues.
On disc two, Hogwood plays two other keyboards, including a magical-sounding Gräbner instrument (Dresden, 1761) that is similar to a small Italian clavichord now in Maidstone Museum that reputedly belonged to Handel. A few movements from the Water Music show how Handel's music might have been conceived before the compositional skeleton was garbed in orchestral flesh. Hogwood's thoughtfully prepared programme and articulate playing is a laudable fusion of scholarly detail and artistic insight.” Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
