Mozart & Michael Haydn: The Duos For Violin & Viola - Maya Magub, Judith Busbridge (2 CDs)

Outstanding performances by Maya Magub and Judith Busbridge of Michael Haydn’s (brother of Joseph) four duos for violin and viola, with the two composed as a favour by his friend, W A Mozart, when Michael Haydn had become too ill to complete the original commission for the six duos.
