Par SPOHR LOUIS. Louis Spohr?s technically, extremely demanding concertos have long been part of clarinetists? standard repertoire. Like the first clarinet concerto, this second concerto was composed for the clarinetist Johann Hermstedt, probably in the spring of 1810.

Premier Anniversaire Jean Cras Jean Cras (1879-1932) a relativement peu écrit pour le piano, qu'il pratiquait d'ailleurs fort bien, tout comme il jouait couramment du violon, de l'alto et de l'orgue. Son 'uvre maîtresse pour le clavier, les Danze (1917), constitue une sonate à peine déguisée, de grande ampleur, à côté de laquelle les Poèmes intimes (1902-1911) et les Paysages (1917) sont deux r…

Shchedrin’s œuvre spans nearly every musical genre, and it is hardly surprising that an output of such versatility contains some rather remarkable instrumental combinations, for example “Music from afar” for 2 bass recorders, or “Balalaika” for a solo violin playing pizzicato throughout. This predilection for the unusual leads the composer in “…

Chiemsee-Messe. Par HAYDN JOHANN MICHAEL. Among Haydn’s over thirty settings of the Latin Ordinary, the Missa in honorem Sanctae Ursula occupies an outstanding position, which, according to the autograph, was completed on 5 August 1793. This Mass has been referred to as the most “Mozartian” of all his masses. With its song-like melodic character, the unity of the motivic material and the harmonius…
