Mozart’s Violin Concertos need little introduction and are some of his most well-known and best-loved works. Despite being written when the composer was just 19 years old, they feature Mozart at his elegant, witty and beguilingly changeable best. Handel and Haydn Society with their inspirational Concertmaster, Aisslinn Nosky, bring Mozart’s musical magic to life in these live recordings from Boston’s glorious Symphony Hall.

‘Fear not…’ The Angel’s words to the shepherds suggest the daring premise of this recording, which, for Ricercar’s fortieth anniversary, enriches in highly original fashion the series dedicated to the discovery of early instruments and their repertory. The cover illustration, depicting two angels playing the bass shawm and the bassoon, perfectly portrays the subject of this disc devoted to the original repertories written for the two instruments in seventeenth-century Germany, whether it be the ceremonial music of the Stadtpfeifer (town musicians), chamber music or even sacred compositions.

Versatile keyboard artist Stuart Jones displayed an intense interest in music throughout his childhood years. Listening to classical music, jazz, and pop gave Jones a broad base of musical influences, which he would draw on throughout the course of his career. That diverse palette is demonstrated in Jones’ wide array of accomplishments, and his compositions for film and television can be heard on programs throughout the U.K. Jones maintains a solid reputation as a dance music artist, regularly contributing to compilations and collections of drum’n’bass, house, and trance music alongside artists such as DJ Luck and the Artful Dodger. It is Jones’ work in new age music that has gained the most recognition. He began recording for the New World Music label in 1995 with his debut release, entitled Love Eternal. Specializing in music for relaxation and meditation, New World Music has a strong presence throughout the new age music world. Fusing new age music ideas with dance music styles, Jones became one of the label’s best-selling artists with 1998’s Lifeforce. His soft jazz release Late into the Night demonstrated his versatility and sensitivity, broadening his audience significantly. Subsequent releases such as Lazy Days (featuring vocalist Sarah Jane) and Pure Calm have established Jones as one of the genre’s most innovative and progressive voices. Stuart Jones maintains a healthy performance schedule on a variety of circuits, making appearances in symphony halls and dancehalls alike. – Evan C. Gutierrez
