Synopsis

Product Description
The Britten Oboe Quartet makes its recording début with a program of the group's core repertory. It naturally includes Mozart's great Oboe Quartet and Britten's own Phantasy, but also two pieces that have a special resonance for the distinguished oboist Nicholas Daniel. The works were commissioned and premiered by Janet Craxton (1929-81), his beloved teacher and inspiration, and her London Oboe Quartet. Oliver Knussen's Cantata (1977) and the delightful quartet of Jean Francaix add further variety to a fascinating anthology that also features Nicholas Daniel's own completion of Mozart's elegiac fragment K580a.
