These works in carefree serenade character develop wonderful melodies, featuring solo displays as well as exquisite combinations. Beethoven at his most effervescent: chamber music with philharmonic flair! “[The Sextet] sets off with a fresh tempo and good balance within an acoustic that is a little resonant. The Adagio, with a nice opening bassoon solo, is charmingly played, and the Minuet, though so marked, responds to the sense of hunting sounds when the horns allow the hint of an open-air bray to enter their tone. The final Rondo is chirpily played.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2011 “This is superb wind playing, absolutely ideal for this music, and the musical attributes are a joy...the result is a performance that every Beethovenian should hear.” International Record Review, July/August 2011 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

| |  | Beethoven - Music for WindsRecordings: 1990 & 1991
Claude Maury (horn) & Guy Penson (fortepiano) Ricercar Academy Beethoven wrote several works before 1800 which were composed for groups of wind instruments. However it was the horn that best came to depict nature at the beginning of the 19th century; Romantic composers being quick to take advantage of the instrument that Punto developed, writing sonatas for the instrument of which those by Beethoven and his pupil Ries are the most well known. | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

The Melos Ensemble was formed by musicians who wanted to play chamber music scored for a larger ensemble in a combination of strings, winds and other instruments with the quality of musical rapport only regular groups can achieve. All its members were excellent musicians who held positions in notable orchestras and appeared as soloists. The clarinettist Gervase de Peyer, flautist Richard Adeney, viola player Cecil Aronowitz and cellist Terence Weil were the founding members. Planned as a group of twelve players – string quintet, wind quintet with piano and harp – this could be expanded by other players to perform an enormous range of works from Mozart through the classics and romantics of Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann and Brahms to Bartók, Janácek, Nielsen, Poulenc and Khatchaturian. They also gave first performances and then recorded works by four then young British composers: Richard Rodney Bennett, Harrison Birtwistle, Gordon Crosse and Peter Maxwell Davies. The principal musicians who joined the initial four were the violinists Emanuel Hurwitz and Ivor McMahon, double bass player Adrian Beers, oboist Peter Graeme, horn player Neil Sanders, bassoonist William Waterhouse, pianist Lamar Crowson and harpist Osian Ellis. Many of the recordings are classics of the Gramophone and have been rarely out of the catalogue. Here is a set bringing together all their recordings made during those fifteen halcyon years of glorious music-making. “There is plenty of individual personality in the music-making here, but how beautifully these fine musicians blend together as a group...the polished elegance and charm of their playing cannot be heard to better effect than in the lovely Mozart Clarinet Quintet and Kegelstatt Trio, with Gervase de Peyer's beautiful solo playing richly limpid yet vital, and first-class recording.” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
