Elsbeth Moser - Vuelta Al Mundo - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Elsbeth Moser - 7 Words [COMPACT DISCS] date 02/20/1996

Both of these quartets are transcriptions of quintets for winds and piano by their respective composers but the links that bind them go much deeper. In the year after Mozart's death, Beethoven began the draft of a work for the unusual instrumental ensemble of four wind instruments and piano. He was inspired by the similar work by Mozart, which had largely emancipated winds from their role in Harmoniemusik, employing them instead in the sophisticated ambience of chamber music. In this performance, following Beethoven's own practice, the cadenzas in his quartet are improvised.

After having split in 1976, Manifesto was the come back album and a tour that sold out most venues. Filmed before a packed house in Manchester's Apollo Theatre, Roxy Music played a magical concert that had the fans on their feet throughout! The concert features four of the original band members, Bryan Ferry, Phil Manzanera, Andy Mackay and Paul Thompson.
