The four ''London'' Trios of 1794-5 were really written for two flutes and cello, but they are none the worse for the flute\/violin contrast. Trio No. 4 has only one movement (Haydn must have meant to write more), the other three, and their ebullience taxes the technique of all the players most agreeably, the humorous finales being a particular joy. The 'divertissements', also in three short movements, are from a set of six written in 1784, but much of the inventional comes from the opera Il mondo della luna and one of the baryton trios and so is much earlier still. The sleeve-note confuses by describing first what you think are the ''London'' Trios, but which turn out to be the unmentioned divertimentos; also timings of the movements and the complete works are chaotic. This of course does not matter; what does is that the music is so delightful and so beautifully played and recorded.'\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e -- Gramophone [10\/1985]\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sony Masterworks","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44626626478314,"sku":"074643778626","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4316960-3139449.jpg?v=1778215303"},{"product_id":"cesar-franck-edition-warner-classics","title":"César Franck Edition (Warner Classics)","description":"A towering figure in French music of the later 19th century, C�sar Franck created a distinctive fusion of German Romanticism and French Classicism, enriching the symphonic, chamber, instrumental, vocal and sacred repertoires. As a teacher and mentor he gained admiration for his modesty and generosity while exercising a powerful influence on younger disciples such as Vincent d'Indy, Henri Duparc and Ernest Chausson. The C�sar Franck Edition gathers together all his masterworks - among them the Symphony in D, Violin Sonata, Pr�lude, Fugue et Variation and, of course, 'Panis Angelicus' - in enthralling performances by musicians of the first rank. Running to 16 CDs, the collection includes a CD of transcriptions and arrangements, proving their fascination for a still greater diversity of interpreters than Franck might have imagined. The five CDs of historical recordings - dating back as far as 1907 - testify to the continuing growth of his reputation after his death in 1890, and to the vibrant performing tradition engendered by his genius.","brand":"WARNER CLASSICS","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":45862047121642,"sku":"190296317859","price":113.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4366365-3295666.jpg?v=1778371288"},{"product_id":"famous-flute-concertos-jean-pierre-rampal","title":"Famous Flute Concertos \/ Jean-Pierre Rampal","description":"A household word when speaking of repertoire, legendary flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal devoted just as much effort to establishing the masterpieces in their rightful place as to unearthing countless works from the baroque, classical and romantic eras.

Sony’s new collection, ‘The Complete CBS Masterworks Recordings’, opens to a benchmark 1969 recording of the Mozart flute quartets where Rampal joins forces with Isaac Stern, Alexander Schneider, and Leonard Rose, and ends with more Mozart – and more Stern – for a keenly played 1994 version of Mozart’s Haffner Serenade. Especially noteworthy are three Kuhlau flute quintets where Rampal joins forces with the Juilliard Quartet: this is superior music, beautifully performed and recorded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContemporary repertoire is represented in the first instance by a colorfully inventive and well-performed Penderecki Concerto under the composer’s own direction, surely the best ‘modern’ piece in the set. Rampal enjoyed a fruitful musical relationship with the French jazz pianist, composer and arranger Claude Bolling. Of those pieces included in the set, I’d gravitate first to the Suite for chamber orchestra and jazz piano trio, with its classical resonances; on the other hand, programs devoted to Scott Joplin rags and Gershwin (including a musically pointless abbreviation of An American in Paris) are best left in the box. I’m all for creative crossover but the Gershwin in particular misfires, musically. Still, to be landed with just two ‘duffs’ in a collection of 56 CDs is pretty good going.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you can imagine, some of the featured repertoire appears more than once but there are sufficient differences in approach between alternative recordings to justify spending time comparing. What’s most interesting is the typically wide range of music on offer, some of it of exceptional quality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall, this is a most enjoyable set, sturdily boxed, with original jacket sleeves that include readable spines, and a hardcover 220-page accompanying book that will give you informative annotations and all the discographical information you need. As diverting collections go, this is certainly one to consider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-- Gramophone (Rob Cowan)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Masterworks","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46012871508202,"sku":"194398882826","price":99.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4018275-2773366_5362a755-1974-4345-8eb9-ecc1ccd69529.jpg?v=1778229449"},{"product_id":"the-essential-jean-pierre-rampal-260635","title":"The Essential Jean-pierre Rampal","description":"ESSENTIAL CLASSICS:RAMPAL","brand":"Sony Masterworks","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46026104176874,"sku":"696998973626","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4361727-3215469.jpg?v=1778202108"},{"product_id":"benda-stamitz-rosetti-flute-concertos","title":"Benda - Stamitz - Rosetti: Flute Concertos","description":"Classical Music","brand":"Supraphon","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46027430953194,"sku":"099925364823","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/1241101.jpg?v=1778338612"},{"product_id":"bach-three-concertos-for-flute-rampal-munchinger-254858","title":"Bach: Three Concertos For Flute \/ Rampal, Munchinger","description":"Bach: 3 Concertos for Flute","brand":"Sony Masterworks","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46027916411114,"sku":"074644651027","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4317567-3139586.jpg?v=1778221152"},{"product_id":"rampal-greatest-hits-vol-1-255251","title":"Rampal - Greatest Hits Vol 1","description":"Rampal Greatest Hits, Vol. 1","brand":"Sony Masterworks","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46027925324010,"sku":"074643456128","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4316932-3139424.jpg?v=1778221503"},{"product_id":"telemann-flute-concertos-etc-rampal-rolla-255291","title":"Telemann: Flute Concertos, Etc \/ Rampal, Rolla","description":"FLUTE CONCERTOS E MINOR","brand":"Sony Masterworks","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46027926143210,"sku":"074644236224","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4317445-3139500.jpg?v=1778215294"},{"product_id":"the-great-flute-concertos-jean-pierre-rampal-260540","title":"The Great Flute Concertos \/ Jean-Pierre Rampal","description":"Bach, Mozart, Telemann \u0026amp; Vivaldi: The Great Flute Concertos","brand":"Sony Masterworks","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46027947016426,"sku":"074644818420","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4317921-3139640.jpg?v=1778202651"},{"product_id":"jean-pierre-rampal-plays-scott-joplin-255264","title":"Jean-pierre Rampal Plays Scott Joplin","description":"Jean-Pierre Rampal Plays Scott Joplin","brand":"Sony Masterworks","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46030122877162,"sku":"074643781824","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4316963-3139453.jpg?v=1778207042"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/collections\/960px-Jean_Pierre_Rampal.jpg?v=1777643373","url":"https:\/\/arkivmusic.com\/collections\/jean-pierre-rampal.oembed","provider":"ArkivMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
