from Children's Corner- The famous Golliwogg's Cakewalk is the final part of Debussy's Children's Corner series consisting of 6 miniatures for Piano which he wrote for his daughter in 1906-1908. The Ragtime style refers to the dance which came into fashion around the turn of the century. In the middle part the composer parodies the beginning of the opera Tristan and Isolde by Richard Wagner several times to which Debussy had a rather ambiguous relationship. The present arrangement allows to play the popular set in a version for melody instruments with accompaniment.

Version of the Cellist Wilhellm Fitzenhagen-An homage of Tchaikovsky to the great admired example of Mozart and a challenge to the solo cellist: 'Rokoko-Variationen' the theme of which follows the style of 18th-century music closely demands a maximum of performing and technical brilliance from the solo cellist. The variations are musically connected by orchestral ritornellos which with regard to music and substance almost form a second sequence of variations.

Tam O’Shanter was first performed at a Henry Wood Promenade Concert on 17 August 1955 with Malcolm Arnold conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. It was received with tremendous enthusiasm and was without doubt the most popular novelty during the 1955 season of Promenade Concerts. The composer is at pains to point out that whereas the earlier overture Beckus the Dandipratt is not descriptive but merely a musical impression Tam O’Shanter is very definitely programme music.

The Billy Strayhorn Collection brings together 17 memorable pieces written arranged or made famous by the man of whom Duke Ellington said ‘(He) was my right arm my left arm all the eyes in the back of my head’. A shyman who realised early on that his dream of a career in classical music was unlikely to become a reality because of his race Strayhorn found a father figure and a lifelong employer in jazz man Ellington. The music presentedhere reflects the full range of Strayhorn’s talent and contains his two most famous compositions Take The ‘A’ Train and Lush Life . Either one would have granted Strayhorn immortality in jazz’s hall of fame buthe wrote and collaborated on so much more doing it all in the role of a highly-valued but low-profile member of Ellington’s entourage. Ellington a cultured man had succeeded despite racism - and the tacit deal he struckwith show business was to be the smiling guy in the spotlight. Strayhorn remained in the shadows and lived a life of quiet courage working in the civil rights movement living openly as a homosexual and using his abundant musicaltalent mainly for the good of the Ellington orchestra. Play his incomparable music and decide for yourself who got the better deal. The true answer is probably that we all did.
