Charles Avison

Artist(s):
Avison Ensemble

Background: Charles Avison was born in Newcastle and can be considered the greatest composer of his time of orchestral concertos. He wrote more than 50 works in the genre - the best known are his orchestra transcriptions of Scarlatti sonatas - as well as chamber music, accompanied keyboard sonatas and vocal compositions.

The existence of his concerto arrangements of Geminiani's Sonatas for Violin and Basso Continuo, op.1 were unknown until quite recently, and presented here as world premiere recordings. In fact Avison seems to have only arranged eleven of the twelve, but Pavlo Beznosiuk has written his own concerto of the missing work, No.11 in similar style. All are scored for string ensemble in the Italian concerto-gross style.

’Outstanding quality… a delight from start to finish. The playing is brisk and light, the textures clear and the overall ensemble well-nigh perfect. Beznosiuk is on stunning form. Recorded sound and overall presentation are also of the utmost quality’ - Robert Levett - International Record Review.
