Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
I liked the Donizetti piece when I heard it on the radio and was looking for a recording, and somehow connected with this compilation. The other pieces were frosting on the cake, however, as this CD has one very enjoyable piece after the other. There are no slow, onerous, lumbering movements on any of the pieces. All are played with a brightness and verve by both the oboe soloist and the orchestra. These are the types of classical pieces that have you humming the tunes afterward. I can't emphasize enough how enjoyable these selections are. And the amazing skills of the oboe soloist are close to unbelievable. These must be some of the hardest pieces in the repertoire, yet he punches out the notes with the greatest clarity. Perhaps a connoisseur could argue the fine points about a better performance, but I was very happy with this one. Enjoy!
