Goossens - Scarlatti-bryan Oboe Concerto.txt

Scarlatti-Bryan: "Oboe Concerto No. 1 in G" Leon Goossens and the Philharmonia String Orchestra conducted by Walter Susskind Originally uploaded Sept. 18, 2007 Recorded April 23, 1947, and May 28, 1949 (retakes of Sides 1 and 3) in EMI's Studio No. 1, Abbey Road, London. Issued as English Columbia DX 8347 and DX 8348 (automatic sequence numbers; there was no manual sequence release of this set) in August, 1950. The side and matrix information: Side 1 (CAX 9870-3): First and second movements Side 2 (CAX 9879-1): Third movement Side 3 (CAX 9880-3): Fourth and fifth movements The movements of this concerto by Gordon Bryan (1895-1958) are listed below, as well as the Scarlatti harpsichord sonatas that are their source material: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Canzonetta (Sonata in F-Sharp, L. 31, K. 318) Polonaise (Sonata in B minor, L. 34, K. 376) Minuet (Sonata in G, L. 82, K. 471) Aria (Sonata in D minor, L. 423, K. 32) Tarantella (Sonata in F-Sharp, L. 31, K. 318 - opening only)

The last movement appears to be more Bryan than Scarlatti; it begins by quoting the theme from the first movement but then takes off on its own. The filler for this set is Gabriel Piern�'s Aubade, with piano accompaniment by Gerald Moore. This was recorded June 16, 1947, presumably in Studio No. 3, Abbey Road. Its matrix number is CAX 9974-1, indicating that it was recorded immediately after another Goossens filler on CAX 9973-1 - the Fiocco Arioso, coupled with the Marcello oboe concerto which, coincidentally, was recorded one day before the Scarlatti-Bryan concerto.
