Notes

A counterpart to the Aldeburgh Strings course, whose recording of Britten's Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings launched this partnership in 2016, Aldeburgh Winds offered an opportunity for exceptional wind and brass players to work intensively alongside leading international professionals.

Richard Strauss poured out some of his most heartfelt inspiration in Metamorphosen, a 25-minute string masterpiece written as an elegy in the wake of Germany's destruction in the Second World War.

In complete contrast the Serenade radiates Mozartian bonhomie combined with Strauss's exquisite chamber scoring which provides a tantalising glimpse of the composer to come.

The Symphony for Wind Instruments ('Fröhliche Werkstatt') adds a third clarinet, basset horn and bass clarinet to the Serenade's line-up and is very important work in the wind ensemble repertory.

Performance **** Recording ****

"... this disc will give you much pleasure and food for thought."

David Nice - BBC Music magazine - September 2017

“... Their shaping of Strauss' Serenade in E flat is glowing in nuance, paving the way for a scintillating representation of the Symphony for Wind Instruments.”

Ken Walton – The Scotsman – 8 July 2017

“...Daniel's feeling for Strauss's longrange ebb and flow is one of the great attractions of this disc...”

Richard Bratby – Gramophone magazine – July 2017

“An interesting and coherent coupling, excellent performances, good sound!”

Remy Franck – Pizzicato magazine – June 2017

“...a fine performance of the much later Symphony for wind instruments...It’s a fine recording.”

Andrew McGregor – BBC Radio 3 ‘Record Review’ – 24 June 2017

“... Enjoyment of the highest quality.”

Manuel Brug – Klassiker Welt – 14 June 2017

“Their sound is lithe and rich...It’s a sophisticated performance. “ ****

Kate Molleson – The Guardian – 8 June 2017
