Albinoni is quintessential baroque., February 27, 2010
This review is from: Albinoni: Complete Oboe Concertos (Audio CD)
My college music appreciation instructor said the Oboe was the purest tone instrument in the orchestra. Albinoni is the quintessential baroque composer, along with Corelli, Vivaldi, Telemann, & Handel.
The pieces are ornamented and embellished in typical baroque style. Typical early sonata allegro form. The instruments, to this mediocre ear, are crisp, clean, and professionally played. Meter is consistent (Baroque music is all about structure). You'll find this an excellent addition to a well rounded collection and pleasant listening.
