Info for Maurice Clare Rediscovered (Remastered)

During the lockdowns of the coronavirus pandemic, Nimbus Records unearthed gems that had long been gathering dust on the shelves of the archive. More than 50 recording projects are now being released in stages. Some of these recordings date back to the founding of Nimbus in the late 1960s. The original analogue tapes, usually one-inch, four-track or 30ips, could be transferred to digital media without any problems. We decided to archive them at 192k to preserve them for the next generation. The early digital tapes from 1981–82, which used U-Matic cassettes, sometimes required ‘surgical intervention’ to repair lost signal passages, but as they had been stored in the same warm, dark room throughout their entire life, they were also largely transferred reliably. There is no information available regarding how and why violinist Maurice Clare came to Nimbus Studio in Birmingham, nor why Georg Philipp Telemann’s music was the chosen repertoire. The logs from the 1974 recording session indicate that Fantasies Nos. 1–5 were recorded on Monday, 26 August, Fantasies 7–12 on Tuesday, 27 August, followed by a day without recording. Fantasy No. 6 was recorded on Thursday, 29 August 1974. Scribbled words on the last page of the session notes hint at future possibilities: 24 sonatas by Tartini, quartets and quintets by Boccherini with a ‘very, very good pupil’ on second violin and ‘Amo’ (Fleming) on the cello. Unfortunately, it never came to pass.
