Albrecht Mayer, principal oboe of the Berlin Philharmonic, celebrates a lifelong passion for France with this album of popular melodies, including favourites by Debussy, Fauré, and Ravel — plus the world-premiere recording of the impressionistic Été. “Gotthard Odermatt's Été is a delightful modern piece in the style of Ravel at his most pastoral.” The Independent, 25th February 2011 *** “Mayer produces a velvety, ravishing sound of sensual purity. The authentic Gallic oboe tone is more nasal and plangent than Mayer's blemishless stream of eloquence, but when the results are so alluring I can't imagine anyone worrying unduly...Mayer sustains an astonishing level of musical poise, shaping every phrase to golden perfection.” Classic FM Magazine, June 2011 **** | | | (Sorry, download not available in your country) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

“Performances are unfailingly alert and nimbly expressive; for Francophiles this is an unmissable CD.” BBC Music Magazine, April 2007 ***** ““a player of great technical fluency and style. His tone is clear and penetrating….[and] beautifully controlled” Gramophone Magazine “L'Horloge de Flore is captivating...It is beautifully played by Lajos Lencses, and the accompaniment is admirably tasteful. In short, this is a miniature treasure, and it is supported by other inconsequential chamber works, all playful and presented with much finesse.” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
