This review is from: Concertos for Oboe Strings and Continuo (Audio CD)
I bought this CD solely on the basis of a review in Klassik Heute and have never regretted it; it is one of the most-played albums in my CD collection. Although the solo instrument is the oboe throughout, each concerto has a very distinct character, so the music never seems repetitive. The ordering of the concertos is well thought out, so if you listen to the CD from beginning to end, you hear a coherent program, not a jumble. Dombrecht is a real master of the Baroque oboe, and his cantabile playing alone is worth the price. This album is an especial treat if you love Vivaldi but are only familiar with his string concertos.

I bought this album solely on the basis of a review in Klassik Heute and have never regretted it. It belongs to the most-played cd's in my collection. Although the solo instrument remains the same, each concerto has a distinct character. The ordering is also well thought out, so if you play the cd from beginning to end, you enjoy a coherent program, not a jumble. Dombrecht is a real master of his difficult instrument and his cantabile playing alone is worth the price! This is an especial treat if you love Vivaldi but have only string music in your collection.
