The Bohemian composer Jan Krtitel Vanhal/Johann Baptist Vanhal (1739-1813) settled in Vienna around 1763. There he wrote several concertos for various instruments, of which two for viola have survived. Both are evidently not original compositions, but arrangements by Vanhal of some of his own works, a common practice of that time. The Viola Concerto in C major is based on Vanhal's cello concerto i…

The Four Hymns are in similar vein to the Five Mystical Songs (1911) although on a smaller and more intimate scale. Together with the Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis these form a succession of works displaying a strong mystical, meditative content.The first of the hymns, 'Lord! come away!', employs vigorous Purcellian recitative in a setting of a Palm Sunday text from Bishop Jeremy Taylor's G…

The aim of this edition is to make Bach's landmark works for solo violin accessible to viola players by presenting a musical text that remains close to the original but also has a distinctly practical focus.

'This is perhaps the most well-balanced concertante work by the Czech composer, a composition which seems to have been cast in a unified whole and to have nothing in common with the looseness of formal design suggested by the title, except perhaps the imaginative richness of the thematic transformations. This is a particularly valuable addition to the limited repertoire of works for solo violists.…

Farewell to philosophy I have a great fondness for the lower string instruments: I am a bass player, my mother is a cellist, as are both my daughters; my own ensemble includes two violas, a cello and a bass, and for the instrumentation of my opera Medea I omit the entire violin section from the orchestra. As I have written a number of works for solo instrument or voice with orchestra I welcomed …
