About
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 Sonatina for Wind Instruments (‘Fröhliche Werkstatt’) adds a third clarinet, basset horn and bass clarinet to the Serenade’s line-up and is a very important work in the wind ensemble repertory.
Two super groups – the strings led by violinist Markus Däunert (leader of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra), and the winds led by oboist Nicholas Daniel (whose distinguished career began with him being named BBC Young Musician of the Year) – combine in this, their second recording for Linn.
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.
The Aldeburgh Strings/Wind ensembles are a product of the Britten–Pears Young Artist Programme, founded over forty years ago by Britten and Pears, in order to provide high-level performance training for the world’s best emerging professional musicians.
Tutors are drawn from some of the world’s finest orchestras, such as the Berlin Philharmonic, Leipzig Gewandhaus, Philharmonia and Scottish Chamber Orchestra, and direct the ensemble sections from within, in an inspiring dual role of mentor and performer.
‘[An] outstanding chamber orchestra…full of the energy of artistic rivalry and new discovery.’ - Fanfare
