Search - Heinz Holliger, Maurice Bourgue :: Virtuoso Series: Albinoni: Oboe Concertos

Albinoni played a major role in establishing the concerto form, with two fast movements framing a slow middle movement, and his exquisite oboe concertos are the finest of their kind by an Italian composer. Holliger brings a wonderful sense of poetry and lyricism to the music, wistful and elegiac in slow movements, athletic and sprightly in faster ones. Guaranteed to raise the spirits and lighten the darkest of moods. Gramophone
