Composed by Henri-Joseph Rigel. Edited by Michael Talbot. Playing score. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH569-SOL. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH569-SOL).

ISBN 9790708185840.

Rigel’s keyboard music is a relatively neglected area within his oeuvre. This edition of his first published collection – a set of six sonatas for solo harpsichord or piano issued in 1767 – seeks to bring it to the attention of players and listeners. These highly idiomatic sonatas display the richness and pan-European character of Rigel’s musical inheritance. In them we hear a blend of influences drawn from the Italian tradition of galant keyboard music, the drama-filled world of the German symphony and the intimate milieu of French pièces de clavecin.

Composed by George Berg. Edited by Michael Talbot. Keyboard. Playing score. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH453-SOL. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH453-SOL).

ISBN 9790708146605.

George Berg’s eight keyboard suites, Op. 5, were published in London around 1760, while the composer was travelling in Italy. They are his most varied and resourceful compositions, following generally in the tradition of Handel’s suites but adding stylistic elements culled from Italian, German and French music in a playfully eclectic manner. This sparkling, idiomatic music – barely known until now – is equally suitable for private enjoyment and concert use.
