Composer:
Charles Avison

Artist(s):
Avison Ensemble

Background: In these concertos Avison took the keyboard music of Scarlatti, and successfully transplanted it into the genre of the concerto grosso. These pieces fuse together the originality and creativity of Scarlatti with the musical abilities of Avison so successfully, that unless previously informed, one would never have realised that these pieces were not originally conceived as concertos.

Avison put a tremendous amount of effort into their composition, going out of his way to acquire the necessary music to enable their completion. They are rare gems from the eighteenth-century and firmly reinforce the notion that Avison was one of the most important concerto composers in Britain during that century.

The Avison Ensemble have chosen to perform on period instruments in order to recreate as closely as possible the distinctive 'sound world' that Charles Avison would have known.
