 Cambridge University Honorary Doctorate for Christopher Hogwood
|
|
| We offer our congratulations to Christopher Hogwood, on whom the degree of Doctor of Music, honoris causa, was conferred in Cambridge University's Senate House on 23 June 2008. The tradition of conferring honorary degrees at Cambridge extends back 500 years, and such awards represent the University's highest accolade. |

| Symphony No. 39 in E flat major K543, arr. for three flutes by Richard Carte, ed. Christopher Hogwood. ... The trio is enormous fun to play, and is incalculably more interesting than the Kuhlau trios which we have all played so much. ... A definite hit we think. read full review |
| ... For players today, the arrangement is idiomatic and satisfying to play - although, of course by no means attempting to match the colour and scope of an orchestra. ... the historical information in the Introduction makes interesting and enlightening reading. This is a useful addition to the flute trio repertory. read full review |

|
| Sonata in C minor for piano, ed. Christopher Hogwood. ... Eberl emerges as a composer of distinction and imagination ... Hogwood has again produced a fine, unfussy edition with good notes, printed clearly on nice paper. ... For pianists wanting something a bit off the beaten track, this is an ideal work, which would certainly repay learning. read full review |

| Antonio Vivaldi
|
|
| Concerto in D major RV244 for violin solo, strings and continuo, ed. Rebecca Kan. ... The scholarly introduction of 12 pages, in both English and German, sets out in its opening sentence the rationale for this new edition - Vivaldi composed two alternative slow movements, both of which are here published together. The score itself is admirably presented and accurate ... the piece would be quite suitable for performance by beginner strings. read full review |

|
| Quartet No. 1 in C major, No. 2 in E flat major, ed. Michael Elphinstone. ... The editorial introduction by Michael Elphinstone is a mine of information and the editing is exemplary... quintessentially classical in musical language, form and layout, idiomatically written and ideal as music for entertainment. read full review |

| Giovanni Battista Viotti

|
| Quartet in E flat major, ed. Jennifer Caesar. ... a real find. These editions are beautifully produced and meticulously edited, on good quality paper, with a clear bold typeface. ... This music is wide-ranging, exciting, and varied in musical ideas, dynamics and articulation; moreover it displays a high quality of melodic invention, with complex textures and moments of real harmonic intensity. read full review |

| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

|
| Symphony No. 40 in G minor K550, arr. Muzio Clementi for flute, violin, cello and piano, ed. Christopher Hogwood. ... This is a very welcome and fascinating addition to Edition HH's enterprising '@MOZART' series ... at last, a scholarly performing edition ... As we've come to expect from Edition HH, there are excellent introductory notes by Hogwood, including a translation into German and very helpful and relevant suggestions for metronome marking, guidance on the handling of repeats, and a facsimile of the first page of Clementi's manuscript. Once again, congratulations to the publisher for continuing to issue first-rate editions of neglected works which combine genuine historical significance with a range of possible practical applications. read full review |
