Description:

A collection of works for harmonica and string quartet by three contemporary British composers. Gordon Jacob's Divertimento, with its beautiful and gentle melody; James Moody, who originally loved the harmonica and wrote many works for it, in a classical style that combines technicality and flamboyance with introspection; and Tony Guinzen, also known as a jazz drummer, in a late Romantic style, with a striking melody influenced by Gershwin and Piazzolla, and a quintet by Tony Ginzey, a well-known jazz drummer, in the late Romantic style, with striking melodies that also show influences from Gershwin and Piazzolla. Gianluca Rittera is one of the few virtuoso players in the world who performs a wide range of repertoire on the chromatic harmonica, from classical to jazz. Naxos Japan
