On Serenade In B Flat, K361/370A album, Academy Of St. Martin-in-the-Fields have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. sixteen years ago, Academy Of St. Martin-in-the-Fields briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Allegro Molto”. When you buy a Academy Of St. Martin-in-the-Fields album, you know exactly what you’re getting! To me Academy Of St. Martin-in-the-Fields is the best band ever.
Such hits like Allegro Molto will leave you hooked. Menuetto - Trio 1-2 is one of these floating songs. Adagio is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. This song is dynamic and dramatic. In Romance (Adagio - Allegretto full palet of sound is used by Academy Of St. Martin-in-the-Fields to accentuate the presentation. The first time I listened to Thema Mit Variationen (Andante I was struck by its gorgeous sound. Finale (Molto Allegro) is marvelous and different song.
