Beethoven, Mozart & Boccherini
How does that one go again? Neglected even amongst Beethoven’s even-numbered “B-side” symphonies, No. 4 in B flat can be a little slow to spring to mind, but once that effervescent first subject banishes the portent of the mock-gloomy introduction, the delights of this work come flooding back. Really remarkable passages abound-suspension, resolution, modulation, deliberate confounding of expectation to comic effect; “masterclass” is applicable, but it’s far too much fun for that. Besides rescuing a bassoonist from a fiendish solo in the finale, the Watts arrangement for flute and string sextet lends a filagree of clarity to a warm and witty work that will leave you beaming.

Composers hailing from the now proud Czech Republic were surprisingly numerous in the 18th century and, while far from household names today, had a significant impact on some that are. These Bohemians were neither the free’n’easy chums who kissed tiny frozen hands in garrets nor the future pictorial romantics devoted to the fields and forests of their homeland. No, these guys skipped down the steps of their provincial alma maters straight onto express carriages bound for Austria, Germany or Italy, and never looked back.
