Serenade by Joseph Tuby – Joseph Tuby lived for most of his life in Egypt, held a British passport, but was entirely French by culture. Before being expelled during the Suez crisis, he had for many years organised the concert society in Alexandria, promoting concerts by almost all the great artists of the day. In his youth he had studied piano and composition at the Paris Conservatoire, during Fauré’s tenure as director and it strongly influenced all his compositions including this charming little Serenade for cello and piano. This publication marks the first time that any of his music has appeared in print. Fountayne Editions
Mozart Andantino in B flat for Cello and Piano KV Anh. 46 – Completed by Annette Isserlis. Mozart sketched the outline of an exposition of an Andantino for “Klavier und Violoncello”. This completion has been beautifully done by Annette Isserlis and it is impossible to tell where Mozart stops and Isserlis starts unless you know the original incredibly well. A critical commentary details the original passages for those without access to Mozart’s sketch.
This piece has been recorded on “Mozartiana” on the Cello Classics label. Fountayne Editions
