Give the oboe another chance
I am indebted to Classic FM for introducing me to this CD. The oboe is often a poor relation to the clarinet, but Nicholas Daniel and the Peterborough String Orchestra show what can be done with it. The playing is both lively and sensitive - Baroque at its best.

Lovely - even if you don't usually like the oboe or baroque music!
Like the previous reviewer, I too discovered this through Classic FM. I'm not usually keen on baroque music and also the oboe is not a favourite instrument of mine, but this CD is! It's a lovely selection and some of the adagios are really beautiful. This music should be more widely known.

It's available at such a low price that it's worth trying out. I'd be surprised if anyone didn't like it, but some might find playing it straight through a little irritating, so just play one or two concertos at a time; they're truly delightful (but quite short).
