5.0 out of 5 stars
Ravishing, August 16, 2001
This review is from: Poulenc: Sonata for Oboe and Piano; Trio for Oboe, Bassoon and Piano / Britten: Temporal Variations for Oboe and Piano; "Six Metamorphoses" (after Ovid) Op. 49; Two Insect Pieces; "Phantasy" (Audio CD)
Coming out of the French school, I didn't expect much from this young oboist; however, upon hearing this CD I found out that I was gravely mistaken. Leleux has an amazing talent and a superior sound. His interpretation of the Britten and Poulenc are my favorites out of those on the market, even beating John Mack's. His ability to sing in the high register, bring warmth and richness to his tone, and phrase smoothly and effortlessly makes this recording absolutely ravishing. Leleux is truly one of the best oboists I've heard to date.
