I HAVE THE SERPENT BROUGHT - MUSIC BY PETER FRIBBINS THE ANGELL TRIO - FRANCES ANGELL (), JAN PETER SCHMOLCK (VIOLIN), RICHARD MAY () THE ALLEGRI - DANIEL ROWLAND & RAFAEL TODES (VIOLINS), DOROTEA VOGEL (VIOLA), PAL BANDA (CELLO) RAPHAEL WALLFISCH (CELLO), JOHN YORK (PIANO) JAMES CAMPBELL () & THE ALLEGRI STRING QUARTET - PETER CARTER & RAFAEL TODES (VIOLINS), DOROTEA VOGEL (VIOLA), PAL BANDA (CELLO) The dramatic, expressive and highly melodic chamber music of the British composer Peter Fribbins, performed here by some of England’s finest chamber ensembles. The disc takes its name from the title of Fribbins’s first String Quartet ‘I Have the Serpent Brought’ after lines from ’s remarkable 17th-century poem ‘Twicknam Garden’ on which it’s based. In 2007 the UK newspaper The Independent said Fribbins was ‘...one of the outstanding composers of his generation.’ This is a CD for all devotees of good string chamber music in the mainstream European tradition.

FOLLOWING ON - MUSIC FOR FLUTE, OBOE AND PIANO THE FIBONACCI SEQUENCE CHRISTOPHER O’NEAL (OBOE), KATHRON STURROCK (PIANO), ILEANA RUHEMANN (FLUTE) This CD combines the music of Francis Poulenc and Tim Ewers. Both composers share an interest in melodic line with Ewers continuing the Poulenc tradition in a more contemporary idiom. In the title track, Following On, Ewers takes a fragment of the Poulenc oboe sonata as his starting point, but develops it in a very different, but equally melodious manner. The playing, as always with the Fibs, is superb, the sumptuous tone colour of the winds supported by Kathron Sturrock’s detailed and supremely musical pianism. All the Ewers pieces appear on CD for the first time.

PARAPHRASES BRILLANTES,VIRTUOSE OPERATIC MUSIC FOR FLUTE AND PIANO MIRIAM TERRAGNI (FLUTE) CATHERINE SARASIN (PIANO) This outstanding new recording is certain to have a wide appeal to all lovers of the flute. In this carefully chosen programme, Miriam Terragni shows herself to be a complete virtuoso musician in playing a wide selection of music, mainly from the 19th-century, which has been chosen to represent a school of brilliant composer-instrumentalists who contributed much to the repertoire. Many of the pieces are based upon well-known operas of the day, notably by Verdi, and reveal an aspect of music-making of yesteryear which has too long been overlooked. She is wonderfully partnered by Catherine Sarasin and we are proud to present this CD which will certainly come to be recognised as one of the most important records of music for flute and piano to have been issued in many years.
