With these new editions, all six recorder concertos of John Baston are now available, each with score, piano score and parts. The thor-oughly edited scores follow essentially the first edition printed by John Walsh in London in 1729. Baston was regarded as an excellent recorder and flute player who worked with London opera orchestras in the early 18th century. His easy concertos anticipating the elegant melody of the early classical period enjoy great popularity representing a rewarding task for music school orchestras and advanced recorder players.
Instrumentation : descant recorder, strings and basso continuo

Baston galt als hervorragender Block- und Querflötist und war während des frühen 18. Jahrhunderts in Londoner Opernorchestern tätig. Seine leichten, die elegante Melodik der Frühklassik vorwegnehmenden Konzerte erfreuen sich großer Beliebtheit und stellen für Musikschulorchester und fortgeschrittene Blockflötisten eine dankbare Aufgabe dar. Besetzung : descant recorder, strings and basso continuo
