Lebrun, L: Oboe Concerto No. 4 in B flat minor - CD

“If relatively little interest has been shown in Lebrun before, perhaps that is because it is hard to imagine him ever having been performed as well as he is here. Playing a modern oboe, Bart Schneemann mixes creamy smoothness with nimble articulation, negotiating Lebrun’s high notes without damage to tone or poise, and breathing an exquisite lyricism in the slow movements. Such is his finely detailed musicianship that he can even rescue those weaker passages that might otherwise fall flat.” Gramophone
