A fascinating and inventive quintet for strings by the legendary 19th century virtuoso bassist and composer Domenico Dragonetti. Quintet No. 18 employs a variety of style topics familiar to early nineteenth-century audiences. The opening Andante has a pastoral character, gracious and inviting, and serves as an introduction to the extended second movement (Allegretto non troppo), which is cast in a rondo form. The recurring opening theme of the rondo, reminiscent of an Alpine call, functions rather like a narrator throughout the movement. Various activities are sketched through familiar musical tropes – horn calls, village scenes, etc. – and as the movement progresses the listener is treated to a variety of swiftly changing moods, creating a very dramatic, even operatic, atmosphere.

Dragonetti
Description: Accurate, muscular and impressively controlled playing by John Feeney, principal bassist of the Orchestra of St Luke’s
Musicians: Dragonetti’s New Academy: John Feeney (double bass) Loma Mar Quartet
Composer: Dragonetti
Piece: Quartet no.1, Quintets nos.13, 18 & 31
Published Code: Dragonetti’s New Academy DNA 2009
Domenico Dragonetti is best known for the reputation he made for himself as a double bassist in London. His music, here represented by string chamber works with bass, is charismatic and quirky – such as the ‘Alpine calls’ in the 18th Quintet. There is much virtuosity on display, both compositionally (testifying to Dragonetti’s legendary abilities) and in the accurate, muscular and impressively controlled playing of John Feeney, principal bassist of the Orchestra of St Luke’s.Ultimately, this is an important disc of historically interesting material, is well produced and I can recommend it with enthusiasm.

John,
Thank you so much for transcribing and recording this music. It's fantastically musical. I have been looking for something like this for quite a while. So far I have composed or arranged everything for my quintet (The Musical Art Quintet). I just finished arranging Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue for the group, but now I look forward to playing some Dragonetti as well.
I really am enjoying your sound on these recordings, thanks for the inspiration.

Anyone downloading the complete set of parts will later receive an email from me containing a PDF of the solo Bass part in 11 by 17 format which alleviates page turning issues for performance. Cheers! John
