£159.60La Derniere Valse - Evzen Zamecník
The Czech composer Evzen Zmecnk, born in 1939, is not only known as adjudicator at the World Music Contest in Kerkrade. He is one of the most important wind band music composers in his country. His music is often inspired by Moravia, the area he is now living in. Here is a waltz with a typical East-European character, expressing a great melancholy. Both the origin and the theme of this 'Last Waltz' are very well rendered by the nostalgic and compelling nature of this composition with some surprising descriptive moments.

£61.00Salve Maria - Saverio Mercadente
The Italian composer Saverio Mercadante (1795-1870) was highly estimated by his contemporaries, even Liszt and Rossini praised him much. He wrote over 60 operas and was one of the 19th century operacomposers whose works were most often performed. 'Salve Maria' was originally a religious song dating from 1864. Mercadante was also fascinated by instrumental music and so he arranged a lot of his opera arias and several songs for solo instruments with orchestral accompaniment.

£131.60Poem a la Carte - Manfred Schneider
As a French horn player, the successful German composer Manfred Schneider is familiar with brass instruments, so he took on the challenge of writing at a real Concerto for Trombone and Wind Band, which he called 'Poem a la carte'. The composition was commissioned by the JBK Sonthofen wind band. Though the 'misterioso' introduction already features some virtuoso passages for the soloist, the latter really takes off in the energetic allegro. Then comes a lyrical largo and the work ends with a sparkling allegro allowing the soloist to demonstrate true virtuosity.

£90.30From My Songbook - Fabre
A new series with an exciting new sound!Michel Fabre is a shooting star on the Amsterdam pop music scene. As a composer he mainly writes educational pop music. Moreover, he writes songs in a style quite similar to the music of his colleague Robert MacRay who knew already a lot of success with compositions such a 'An All American Suite' and 'New St Petersburg'. So a collaboration seemed quite evident and the result is this simple three part suite. We get some Amsterdam street impressions and at the end we pay a visit to an extraterrestrial 'disco bar' where the music played is apparently based on a traditional blues scheme.
