Concerto à la Carte
Claude Monteux (flute) John Wilbraham (trumpet) / Academy of St Martin in the Fields, Sir Neville Marriner

[ SBS Australian Decca Eloquence / 2 CD ]

Release Date: Monday 15 February 2016

The partnership of Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields is possibly the most recorded of all partnerships in recorded classical music. This collection brings together three of their earliest concerto recordings: BAROQUE TRUMPET CONCERTOS, RECITAL FOR STRINGS and 18TH-CENTURY FLUTE CONCERTOS, the three LPs receiving their first complete release on CD. John Wilbraham and Claude Monteux were, respectively, the trumpet and flute soloists on these recordings. Crispness of ensemble, stylish delivery, flexible and febrile performances, and rich-toned recordings were their hallmarks. This pioneering 2CD set is issued in celebration of the Academy's 50th anniversary this year and these recordings form part of a series of Marriner reissues on Eloquence.

Some of Marriner and the Academy's earliest concerto recordings for L'Oiseau-Lyre and Argo reissued on CD for the first time

Forms part of a series of recordings with Marriner and the Academy.

"Contains some playing of uncommon brilliance … John Wilbraham is one of the most athletic, clean-toned and brilliant of trumpeters today" The Gramophone

"The most alert string-playing distinguishes this record … first-class quality of recording throughout" The Gramophone
