The Band weren’t planning on making an album when they started work on their fourth LP, 1971’s Cahoots. Their manager, Albert Grossman, was building a recording studio in Woodstock, New York, where the members of the Band lived, and he invited them over to try the place out as finishing touches were being put on the studio.

The first studio album of Band originals since 1971’s Cahoot — in many respects, Northern Lights-Southern Cross was viewed as a comeback. It also can be seen as a swan song, in that its recording marked the last time the five members would work together in the studio as a permanent group, with a commitment to making a record they would tour behind and build on as a working band.

This sonata combines pleasurability, interestingness and substance; novel and charming melodies with elegant modulation and exquisite harmony. The sonata’s magnificent style compares favourably to Mozart’s best works of this kind.” (Review of the Sonata op. 11 in: Zeitung für die elegante Welt, 1807) “Whether or not Wilms had Mozart in mind – he certainly held him in his heart! Without doubt, he has matched the master with this work.” Continue reading “Werner von Schnitzler / Jakub Tylman / Cosmin Boeru – Johann Wilhelm Wilms: Violin Sonatas & Piano Trio (2010) [Hi-Res SACD Rip]”
