Review title: Atmospheric diversions
Product review: ESS.A.Y has a good idea here: presenting miscellaneous music for violin and 'cello that would have been heard and played at home during the Napoleonic wars around 1800, much as Captain Aubrey and Surgeon Maturin play together of an evening afloat in the Patrick O'Brian maritime novels.It's no knock on the modest claims of this music to say that these pieces are not necessarily the nameless ones played by Aubrey & Maturin (although ones they might have heard), and that they are played to a much higher standard than those worthy amateurs as described by O'Brian, and with keyboard accompaniment simply not available to them aboard ship. The CD Volume II, however, probably does contain several pieces O'Brian had exactly in mind, including the full oboe quartet featured in The Yellow Admiral. Withal, a pleasant meal or evening can be taken in their company, a "noble accompaniment" to late and quiet moments between the thunder and blood of novelistic battle.
