- Apart from the familiar and celebrated "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba" this disc contains three concertos "a due cori". These works for double-orchestra were written to exploit the virtuosity of the orchestral players. The double-orchestra instrumentation allows for lots of charming echo effects.
