Music reviews of Musical Evenings with the Captain, Vol. 2Music Review: Get ready for a wonderful musical evening
Featuring music by Mozart, JS Bach, Haydn, and the son JC Bach, this CD includes works that are either described or hinted at in Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin novels. You don't need to be a fan of the novels or a fan of the naval times of yesteryear to enjoy this music. The specific music on the CD includes Mozart's Oboe Quartet in F Major with oboe, violin, viola, and cello; JS Bach's Partita No. 2 in D Minor with violin; Haydn's Trio in G Major with violin, cello, and fortepiano; and JC Bach's Sonata in D Major Opus 16, No. 1 for Violin & Keyboard. The musicians are fantastic and completely on top of their games...the Partita is especially amazing since it is a half-hour violin solo. The recordings are clear and distinct and sound great through a good sound system or headphones. Yet they are still rough enough that you can hear the little imperfections in the background, such as the sound of the violin shaking in the Partita during the faster notes. The liner notes are very informative and were written by Richard Kapp, the fortepiano player on the disc (so called in its early days because of its unique ability to play both louder (forte) and softer (piano)). They describe the background of each piece in O'Brian's novels, where they are mentioned or, in the absence of a direct mention, where they are generally hinted at and how the musicians came to decide that O'Brian was hinting at that specific piece of music. On top of that, however, Kapp goes into extensive detail on the actual background of each piece, of its composer and of the history of the piece itself. A fantastic companion to the music on the disc!
