Composers usually regard the viola as a part of the orchestra and thus a few works for viola have been written. Recordings of talented viola players are very rare. In the limited number of works for viola, the listener can appreciate the beautiful sound and varied potentialities of the instrument.

Kolekce: BaroquePodkolekce: Chamber Orchestra
Firma Melodiya presents recordings of baroque music performed by the Moscow Chamber Orchestra lead by Rudolf Barshai.
The name of this musician emerged in the Soviet concert life in the early 1990’s. He quickly became successful as a solo violist and ensemble player. However, his thirst for something new and his strive for breaking stereotypes, which were the way of many cultural figures of the Thaw period led him to creating the first ever Soviet chamber orchestra. An exceptionally talented conductor and organizer, Rudolf Barshai won many well-known musicians over to joint playing, including those who had promising solo careers (violinist and conductor Lev Markiz, cellist Alla Vassilieva, harpsichordist and pianist Mikhail Muntian, oboist Evgeny Nepalo, bassoonist Vladimir Bogorad and others). The performances of the new orchestra surprised and admired the listeners. Its repertoire included compositions, which were previously little known to the domestic listeners, and on the contrary some well know, even “outworn” music, which sounded in a totally new way.
The compositions featured on this album are instrumental concertos by Tomaso Albinoni and Antonio Vivaldi, the concerto grosso by George Friedrich Handel and a suite by “Bach’s fortunate rival” Georg Philipp Telemann became a discovery to the Soviet audience of the years. Even today, when we have so many alternative versions to choose from and when “authenticity” is in fashion, these recordings from fifty years ago have not lost their originality. We still feel that peculiar freshness, audacity of the pioneers who discovered a new and at the same time so contemporary world of baroque music for themselves and their listeners.
Albinoni:
Concerto Op. 7 No. 3 for oboe & strings in B flat major
Eugene Nepalo (oboe)
Concerto for strings and harpsichord No. 3 in D major, Op. 5, No. 3
Handel:
Concerto grosso, Op. 6 No. 12 in B minor, HWV330
Telemann:
Overture (Suite) TWV 55:C3 in C major for wind, strings & b.c. 'Hamburger Ebb und Fluth' ('Wassermusik')
Vivaldi:
Concerto in G minor, RV 103
Eugene Nepalo (oboe), Mikhail Muntian (basso continuo)

Kolekce: BaroquePodkolekce: Flute
This recording is the solo debut disc from Elizabeth Walker for Quartz, having previously recorded nine CDs with the New London Consort for Decca.
Elizabeth has played as a freelance flautist both on period and modern instruments, most notably with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, BBC Symphony Orchestra and the City of London Sinfonia.
There are virtually no other works written for solo unaccompanied flute “senza basso” that one can compare to the Fantasias. The unaccompanied Fantasias by Telemann stand as masterpieces of baroque invention, showing a variety of styles and influences in ever changing moods and tempos.
Elizabeth performs the Fantasias on a wooden flute. |

This recording thus serves as homage to the memory of the glorious period, in which some of these instruments existed, in the form of a suggestive approach to the disquieting and enigmatic sonic world of the time. The exquisitely selected ingredients for this menu are sheep gut strings, Venice catline gut roped bass strings according to Praetorius, black horse hair for the bows, historical tunings (such as the French music played at 390 hertz), historical temperaments (Pythagorean for the Vihuela), English scordatura tuning, instruments made according to old techniques, instrument models of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, etc…

Kolekce: BaroquePodkolekce: Chamber Ensemble
The presented CDs of Baroque music for the oboe and chamber ensembles recorded by Oleg Yakubovich and his colleagues are an extraordinarily vivid and quite representative range of musical pieces of that epoch. First of all, naturally, the selection of these particular works needs to be explained.
The principal idea of this disk recording and selection of pieces is to show the beauty of melodical specifics and aesthetics of Baroque music. Therefore, Oleg Yakubovich chose the pieces he considered the most attractive ones, relying on his own personal preferences.
