OBOE CONCERTOS

An extensive collection favourite Oboe Concertos from the Baroque and Classical Era! The oboe was one of the first wind instruments gaining a solo role in the Baroque. Its strong, nasal timbre, able of expressing both joy and sadness, established the instrument as a leading voice within the instrumental ensemble.

Excellent performances on period instruments by leading soloists in their field: Stefan Schilli, Pier Luigi Fabretti, Andrius Puskunigis and others. Recorded between 1995 and 2015. Contains liner notes written by Philip Borg-Wheeler specially for this release.
