a gift for your garden
BIS Records 2508
Released 20th December 2024
Sound Engineer: Oscar Torres
Our second recording, A Gift for your Garden, recorded for internationally acclaimed label BIS Records, was Record of the Week on BBC Radio 3's Essential Classics in January 2025, and received glowing reviews in Gramophone and Diapason magazines.
The music on this album celebrates the horticultural friendships of Baroque composer Georg Philipp Telemann, and the joy to be found in the giving and receiving of flowers. In his enthusiasm for plants, Telemann received floral gifts and advice from his good friend George Frederick Handel and Johann Gottlieb Graun, whose beautiful trio sonatas are featured, alongside music by Telemann himself: one of his incredible "Paris Quartets", a folky trio sonata and a haunting solo flute fantasia transposed for the recorder.
full of the highland humours
EM Records CD074
Released December 2021
Sound Engineer: Oscar Torres
Our first album explores the music of London-based composers who embraced Scottish musical heritage in their music. It features rarely recorded works by the James Oswald, a Scottish composer who experimented with fusing his native Scottish tunes with the popular Italian Baroque style, including his ground-breaking
Sonata on Scots Tunes and four delightful miniatures from his 'Airs for the Seasons'.
Also on this disc: sparkling trio sonatas by Giuseppe Sammartini, Oswald's colleague, and by Francesco Geminiani, who admired Scottish music so much that his Treatise of Good Taste in the Art of Musick featured entirely his own arrangements of popular Scots tunes; and music by Thomas Erskine, Sixth Earl of Kellie, a talented musical Scottish aristocrat with the nickname ‘Fiddler Tam’.
