The Requiem was Mozart's final composition. It was commissioned by the widow of the Countess von Walsegg who died in February 1791. After working on the Requiem through October and November however Mozart fell ill and died without completing it. Mozart's widow needing money asked Joseph Eybler to complete the work. Unfortunately he could not finish the work and it was handed over to Franz Xaver Sussmayr. However Sussmayr was a musician of limited capabilities and much of his contribution was in fact a copy of Eybler's work.

The eight sonatas of Guilmant may well lay claim to classical rank. Originally conceived for the French organs of Cavaille-Col they are sufficiently broad in conception as to lose little if anything in their interpretation on English and American instruments.

Eaglefield Hull and contains the First Sonata in D Minor Op.42 Second Sonata In D Major Op.50 Third Sonata In C Minor Op.56 Fourth Sonata In D Minor Op.61 and the Fifth Sonata In C Minor Op.80 .

The central Piano works of Charles Tomlinson Griffes (1884-1920) share with Claude Debussy’s music those distinctive harmonies and rhythms that typify impressionism in the early 20th century. In that period of 1910 to about 1916 – the era of Debussy’s “Sunken Cathedral” and “Ondine” – Griffes composed his evocative “ The Lake at Evening ” “ The White Peacock ” and “ The Fountain of Acqua Paola .” This highly coloured music free in form and strongly pictorial signalled Griffes ’ creative break from his student work in Berlin infusing his music with experimental parallel harmonies whole-note scales fluid rhythms poeticreferences and tinges of orientalism typical of the style and its time. This fine collection contains all of the essential works of Griffes ’ central period: Three Tone-Pictures Op.5 (“ The Lake at Evening ” “ The Vale of Dreams ” and “ The Night Winds ”); Fantasy Pieces Op.6 (“ Barcarolle ” “ Notturno ” and “ Scherzo ”); and Roman Sketches Op. 7 (“ The White Peacock ” “ Nightfall ” “ The Fountain of the Acqua Paola ” and “ Clouds ”). The volume concludes with Griffes ’ Piano Sonata completed in early 1918 just two years before his premature death. Written at the peak of Griffes ’ creative power it is one of the composer’s most striking works and a complete break from his earlier style – classically structured and uncompromisingly dissonant.
