Quintet 1979

Jephtha was the last full-length composition that Handel wrote. (The Triumph of Time and Truth of 1757 was almost entirely made up of pre-existing music.) Given this fact, and also that the actual writing of it was an inordinately laborious task for Handel as he fought with rapidly failing eyesight, it's incomparable depth of expression and personal commitment make the whole work a profound and magnificent conclusion to his life's output. Based on a story from Judges XI, it tells of Jephtha leading the Israelites against the Ammonites and his ultimate sacrifice.

Violinist Stéphane Grappelli's maturity is nicely mapped by this Verve Jazz Masters compilation containing 14 recordings made between September 1966 and May 1992. A skilled improviser whose lengthy career began in the '30s when he co-led the Quintet of the Hot Club de France with Django Reinhardt, Grappelli had a very productive comeback during the time period covered by this collection. The cast of creative collaborators includes guitarists Diz Disley, Ike Isaacs, and Larry Coryell, pianists Michel Legrand and George Shearing, and bassists Eberhard Weber and Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen.

Album recorded by Astor Piazzolla during his visit to New York with his New Tango Quintet in 1986. Piazzolla himself said: 'This is absolutely the greatest album I've ever done in my life. We all leave the soul in this recording '. This album, the first released by Astor in CD format, marked a point in his career in the U.S. market to start with a new label. Astor raised here old classics of his musical career with new arrangements he played with his quintet working with him since 1979. The Quintet were integrated by Hector Console (bass), Horacio Malvicino (electric guitar), Pablo Ziegler (piano) and Fernando Suárez (violin). This album earned him enormous world credit. He opened the door to a massive audience that had never heard. No need to discuss whether or not this music is tango, simply leave discourse its melodies, its polyrhythms, their counterpoints and soak in the atmosphere. Then … don't care, it's Piazzolla.

Boccherini's style is completely characteristic of the period in which he lived, the period, that is, of Haydn rather than that of Mozart or Beethoven. He enjoyed a reputation for his facility as a composer, leaving some 467 compositions. A great deal of his music is designed to exploit the technical resources of the cello, in concertos, sonatas, and, particularly, in chamber music for various numbers of instruments, including a remarkable series of quintets with two cellos. The twelve quintets for guitar and string quartet, of which eight have survived, are arrangements by the composer of works written for pianoforte quintet in the late 1790s. The set of six quintets were dedicated to the Marquès de Bénavent, an enthusiastic amateur guitarist.
