“Born in 1955, Lebanese-French composer, organist and improviser Naji Hakim studied under Jean Langlais at the Paris Conservatoire before succeeding Olivier Messiaen as organist of the Saint Trinity Church in Paris. Considering his significant musical training, Langlais' compositions are created from a wealth of knowledge and understanding, Concerto for Violin being no exception. Composed in 2002, Concerto for Violin, with String Orchestra or Piano reduction accompaniment, is highly modern in composition. With a typical performance lasting about 35 minutes, the concerto is made up of three movements. The solo Violin line addresses many virtuosic techniques, including double and triple stops, articulation, complex rhythms, varying bowings and a huge range of performance directions, amongst other aspects. For all advanced violinists, seeking varied, modern repertoire, Hakim's Concerto for Violin is an essential addition to the repertoire.&rdquo.

The 26 masterworks contained in this collection have been carefully arranged for any combination of string duet. The selections appear in chronological order. They span nearly 200 years with 22 composers and feature works from the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods of music. The arrangements are drawn from a variety of sources, including piano and chamber works. However, the majority of works were taken from actual duets originally written for two instruments by the composers themselves. Each work was selected for its quality, musical interest, and appropriateness. Arranged specifically for a chamber setting, the duets may be performed at recitals, adjudications, weddings, and social events. The various moods created through these works will compliment any occasion.

The four Valtz (plus a fifth in the Appendix, which constitutes the first draft of n. 3) for violin, published here for the first time in their manuscript form, although brief, are important musically since they add to the rich and varied catalogue of works for solo violin by Paganini. The pieces can be found within the manuscript of the Ghiribizzi for guitar M.S. 43. Their musical structure is simple, as is found in this genre of compositions and is mostly divided into a bipartite form (8+8 bars) with ritornelli. These are short but very pleasant pieces, in which it is not difficult to find the spirit of the great Genoese composer of small compositions.

It is not only the great success of Nathan Evans' re-release of The Wellerman on social media that is responsible for the great popularity of sea shanties and naval songs. Such songs create a unique mood, a touch of adventure and wanderlust for the big, wide world. Hardly anyone can elude it and with Vahid Matejko's Sea Shanty Play-Alongs there are now the most beautiful sea shanties and naval songs skillfully arranged as an instrumental play-along series for recorder, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet (opt. baritone T.C.), trombone (opt. baritone B.C.), violin, and accordion (piano).The varied arrangements have a wide stylistic range and offer echoes from rock, Latin, funk, big band to orchestral and Caribbean influences. Thus, each song has its own musical and instrumental appeal, to which the parts and/or solos specially composed by arranger Vahid Matejko also contribute. The original polyphonic choral vocals are replaced by polyphonic instrumental backings.Each of the ten titles was recorded live by excellent professional musicians and is available in two different versions: — a demo-track which features a live violin performance by Julia Carola Jech, the female world music violinist and specialist for tango music and— a minus-one mix for you to play-along.
