CPE Bach, A Marcello: Oboe Concertos, Oboe Sonata - FECO, Kiss

CPE Bach, A Marcello
Oboe Concertos, Oboe Sonata
Ferenc Erkel Chamber Orchestra, József Kiss
Naxos 8.550556

This enjoyable concerto, once attributed (in a different key) to Benedetto Marcello, is given a good performance here by Jozsef Kiss and is very well recorded. One might have preffered more dynamic contrast from the soloist, but his timbre is right for baroque music and he plays with plenty of spirit. This disc is well worth its modest cost for the C.P.E. Bach couplings.

A stunning recording courtesy of the period Venice Baroque Orchestra directed by Andrea Marcon of little known but highly evocative works by Alessandro Marcello. Unmissable.
