The album contains four pieces:

Czardas
Montis virtuosic showpiece for the violin has long been a favourite. This arrangement gives the soloist the opportunity to display the full range of technical and musical skills, whether in the rich, lugubrious slow introduction or in the bustling allegro vivace which follows.

Largo al Factotum
In this celebrated aria from Rossinis The Barber of Seville, Figaro, the eponymous hairdresser of the opera, tells of his life at everyones beck and call. Figaros hectic lifestyle was perfectly expressed in musical terms by Rossini and provides a magnificent tour de force for the modern euphonium player.

Salut dAmour
Since its composition in 1888, this, the first melody to proclaim Elgars genius across the world, has been a firm favourite, appearing in many versions. This composer himself made several, and this arrangement borrows some of his counter-melodies. Elgar wrote the piece for his wife-to-be, inspired by a poem she had penned under the apt title Liebesgrüss Loves Greeting. Its yearning intervals seem tailor-made for the euphonium.

Calon Lân
Eric Ball, doyen of brass band composers and arrangers, made this arrangement duet expressly for Robert and Nicholas Childs, treating the lovely Welsh melody with the taste and sensitivity for which he is renowned the world over.
