22 Rêverie Claude Debussy 4:55
The programme pairs arranged Fauré and Ravel pavanes for the full trio with Giuliani’s Serenade for flute and guitar, Coste’s short works for oboe and guitar, and Ponce’s Sonata III for solo guitar. Debussy appears twice: the solo flute Syrinx and Lynch’s trio arrangement of Rêverie. John W. Duarte’s settings of Somerset and Essex folk songs, drawn from collections by Cecil Sharp and Vaughan Williams, close the middle of the disc.
Peter Lynch arranged the two pavanes and the Debussy trio version. The recording was made in the winter of 1989 in the chapel of Xavier College, Kew, with Martin Wright as engineer.

The ensemble playing is immaculate, impeccable intonation, beautiful phrasing and superb breath control by the two wind players … recommended for those looking for calm, soothing music, full of flowing melodies and pleasing harmonies by musicians who play with warmth and sincerity.
well worth the listen … a lovely programme of music in first rate performances makes it well worth the investment.

Claude Debussy
composer
Claude Debussy (1862–1918) was a French composer whose harmony, colour and flexible sense of key reshaped European music at the turn of the twentieth century. Piano, orchestral and chamber works from his maturity remain central to the repertoire.
Gabriel Fauré
composer
Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) was a French composer, pianist, organist and teacher whose music links late Romanticism with early modernism. His best-known works include the Requiem, the Pavane, and a large body of songs and piano music.
Maurice Ravel
composer
Many consider Maurice Ravel a major composer for the piano as well as a genius of orchestration. It remains a surprise how few works make up his total output for the instrument: all his piano compositions can be performed in under two and a half hours.
Napoléon Coste
composer
Napoléon Coste's guitar music carries French Romantic drama and song: programmatic fantasies that send soldiers to war and bring them home in triumph, beside short romances and cantilènes of quiet, flowing melody.
John William Duarte
composer
Mauro Giuliani
composer
Mauro Giuliani (1781–1829) was an Italian guitarist, cellist and composer, and one of the leading guitar virtuosi of the early Romantic era. His concert works and chamber music helped define a new role for the guitar in European music.
Manuel María Ponce
composer
Manuel Ponce’s music draws Mexican popular song and folklore into the concert hall. His guitar works sit at the centre of the instrument’s repertory, while piano pieces and songs reshape European forms with a distinctly Latin American voice.
