First Grace Of Light was composed for Nicholas Daniel to perform at a concert in memory of janet craxton for BBC Radio 3 on 7th November 1991.

Version 2010-“Books talk to each other” - Umberto Eco’s statement could just as easily apply to music as Les Citations for Oboe Harpsichord Double Bass and Percussion by Henri Dutilleux (1916-2013) brilliantly proves. Written in 1991 the score was reworked by the composer for the Festival d’Auvers-sur-Oise where the new version premiered in June 2010. The origin of this work goes back to For Aldeburgh 85. Written for the 75th birthday of singer Peter Pears the piece takes up a fragment of Peter Grimes whose leading role had been written by Britten for the beloved tenor. Dutilleux adds a page titled FromJanequin to Jehan Alain in which appears a song from the Renaissance composer “L’espoir que j’ay d’acquerir vostre grace” used by J. Alain in his Variations for Organ on a theme by Clément Janequin. The junction between the two parties is made through an Interlude that introduces the “wolf’s moan” theme from the ballet Le Loup (The Wolf) composed by Dutilleux in 1953 for the troupe of Roland Petit. This subtle tangle of quotations forms a shimmering and sensual work where the uniqueness of an authentic artist powerfully asserts itself.

The two oboe concerts in F major (Op. 37 and 52) are among the most artistically important and intellectually graceful works of Krommer (1759 1831). The proffered Opus 52 is written in the classic three-movement concerto form and builds on the musical diction of Haydn and Mozart. The concerto was revised by Frantisek Suchý who comments on the edition’s relation to its sources in the Editor’s Notes. The detailed Preface is written by Jan Racek. The publication is part of the Musica Antiqua Bohemica series.
