Smethurgel was a church organist in London and played viola at Vauxhall Gardens, but information on his life is scarce, and the only comprehensive recording we have is a collection of overtures in Op. 5, which the duo on this disc released in 2023. The overture included here, Op. 2, was published in 1778. Considering the date of composition, it is a little conservative, but the melodic beauty and fresh lyricism of the slow movement, with a hint of shadow, is reminiscent of Mozart's. The overture is in 5 parts (4\/4, 4\/4, 4\/4, 4\/4, 4\/4, 4\/4, 4\/4, 4\/4, 4\/4, 4\/4, 4\/4, 4\/4, 4\/4). The variety of tones in the five-string orchestra (4\/4\/3\/2\/1), harpsichord, oboe, bassoon, and two horns is a testament to Smethagel's talent, and Bostock is also to be credited for preparing the revised score. This disc is recommended for those who enjoy the Sinfonia of William Beuys and Christian Bach.\n\nThe jacket depicts Vauxhall Gardens, where Smethergell used to perform.\n\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cpo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51647425380641,"sku":"4589538825577","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538825577.jpg?v=1756800764","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ec\/products\/4589538825577","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
