Fresh from the success of Danzi: Music for Piano and Winds volume 1, ensemblef2 return with more beautiful music “superbly played” (Early Music Review). Featuring the Grand Sonata Op 62 for basset horn and piano, the Op. 44 E minor horn sonata and the Piano and Wind Quintet Op 54, no. 2, the members of ensemblef2 bring their period knowledge and style to this beautiful repertoire. "The playing of the solo instruments in both of these [solo] Sonatas was exemplary, with Jane Booth and Anneke Scott both managing to balance details of articulation (so important in music of this period) with musical expression. " Andrew Benson Wilson Recorded November 2014 (sonatas) and June 2015 (quintet) at Finchcocks Musical Museum. The performers wish to acknowledge the continuing support and generosity of the owners, Richard Burnett MBE and his wife Katrina.
