4.0 out of 5 stars A Special Note to Oboe Lovers!, April 10, 2003

This review is from: Build Your Baby's Brain 5: Through the Power of Baroque (Audio CD)

To anyone who loves the oboe, this CD is worth buying if only for John de Lancie's famous rendition of the Marcello Concerto (the whole concerto is here), which is the best I have ever heard. His interpretation of the soaring slow movement is especially beautiful. The sound is very clear and the other selections (including a delightful version of Vivaldi's "Spring" concerto with flute instead of violin) are quite good, with perhaps a little too much emphasis on the pompous... But never mind all that: if you like the oboe as much as I do, this is probably one of the best available examples of de Lancie's wonderful sound and definitely worth the price of the whole CD!
