Music Minus One Piano-Bach's intricate 'triple' concerto for keyboard violin and flute is a challenge containing much brilliant passagework. The less formidable slow movement was taken from the organ sonata No. 3. It is a companion to the Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 the first movement of which is included on this album. An extremely rewarding and enjoyable piece for study. Also included on this album is the first movement of the Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 written for harpsichord flute violin and orchestra was Bach's first truly original keyboard concerto and is a unique work full of bravura passages. An eternal favorite! Includes a high-quality printed music score and a compact disccontaining a complete version with soloist in split-channel stereo (soloist on the right channel) then a second version in full stereo of the orchestral accompaniment minus the soloist. Performed by Neill Eisenstein piano Accompaniment: Stuttgart Festival Orchestra Conductor: Emil Kahn

Green Hills is a work for solo Piano by William Alwyn. Written in 1936 it is dedicated to Hugo Anson (1894-1958) a New Zealand born composer and pianist who taught at the Royal College ofMusic from 1925 onwards. William Alwyn (1905-1985) was a British composer conductor and pedagogue. He was professor of composition at the Royal Academy of Music from 1926 to 1955 and also played Flute with theLondon Symphony Orchestra. He wrote five symphonies and over sixty film scores but also composed several Piano works for young players some of which were used as exam pieces.

The final movement of the Sonata in A major KV 331 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart the Rondo Alla Turca is one of the most famous piano pieces of all time. Once only familiar to musical experts later a universal piece for all piano pupils its opening melody is now even omnipresent as an alienated sinus tone-like mobile phone ring tone. Fazıl Say's arrangement originally created as an effective encore follows on from this popularity. After the first eight bars have been presented in original form typical elements of jazz superimposed on the still recognisable classical foundations can be discovered such as syncopation of the top notes andornamentation through chromatic blue notes embedded in the at times frenzied chains of semiquavers. In the spirit of the work's improvisatory character Say likes to perfom his Alla Turca Jazz in different combinations for example accompanied by jazz singers of with orchestra. It may appear strange that Fazıl Say who was born in Turkey and - when not on tour - is still resident in that country does not bring back Mozart's interpretation of genuine Turkish music closer to its own roots particularly as many of his compositions such as Black Earth or the Violin Sonata are characterised by a subtle amalgamation of the Classical-Romantic tradition Turkish folk music and elements of jazz. In a further Mozart arrangement the ballet music Patara premiered in Vienna in 2006 composed on the basis of the Rococo-like theme from the first movement of the same A-major Sonata (wich enjoys almost as great popularity as the Alla Turca theme) Say utilised the connection which was absent in Alla Turca albeit in the opposite direction. In the ballet music the piano symbolises Western culture and the Ney flute Oriental culture communcated atmosperically by austere percussion instrumentation and soprano vocalisation.
