Modern
Era
Music of the twentieth century, from roughly 1900 to 1945. Composers broke with the harmonic language they inherited, some abandoning a fixed key altogether, others turning to folk material, jazz or older forms for a way forward. A restless, argumentative period, and one of the most varied in the repertoire.

“...an intriguing recording, because it catches one of the idiom’s most important trumpeters, not merely at the height of his mature powers, but at an interesting point of transition between two of the very best editions of his small bands...” (Chris Sheridan)
“.....The heavily blues based styles of Mance and Wright complemented the soulful side of Gillespie who was without question at the peak of his powers at this time....As with all of Nils Winther’s work, the sound is beautifully balanced, and the digital transfers are excellent.” (Cadence)

More and more music lovers are discovering Antonio Rosetti, Mozart's contemporary from Wallerstein in Bavaria. After a number of horn concertos and a few delightful symphonies, these are the two first piano concertos to be released; one of them - also a rarity - was composed by Rosetti together with his pupil Nanette von Schaden. A Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra with delight in playing, a soloist (Nerine Barrett) who hits Rosetti's timbre most perfectly, and a conductor who clearly cares about this music are the features of this recording. A must for every music collection. (customer review) " the sound of the TACET recording is of demonstration quality... The notes, by Sterling E. Murray, president of the International Rosetti society, are very thorough. The performances are first-class. As expected, the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra is well polished. Johannes Moesus is a young German conductor of considerable quality. He is also president of the International Rosetti society. I have not previously encountered pianist Nerine Barrett. A Jamaican, she has studied and performed widely according the notes. Certainly her performances here indicate we should be hearing more from her (...) Anyone interested in Rosetti is well advised to obtain both recordings." (Fanfare)
