Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Tomaso Albinoni, a Baroque composer who stood shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Bach and Handel. This album, "Albinoni: Oboe Concertos," released in 1995 under the Chandos label, is a testament to Albinoni's mastery of the oboe concerto form. It features a collection of 12 concertos, each a jewel of Baroque composition, showcasing the oboe's expressive range and Albinoni's ingenious melodies.
The album spans a generous 71 minutes, offering a comprehensive journey through Albinoni's works. Each concerto is a three-movement piece, typically structured as Allegro, Adagio, and Allegro, demonstrating the composer's skill in contrasting tempos and moods. The concertos are performed by the London Virtuosi, conducted by John Georgiadis, with soloists Alison Alty and Anthony Camden delivering captivating performances.
