These are wonderful pieces that are very well performed and the CD is worth the money for the Concerto in E major for oboe d’amore, flute and viola d’amore alone!

This performance has all of the hallmarks of a typical Herreweghe performance; a beautifully devotional interpretation, a powerful but not overstated performance and lovely choral singing. It is a lovely performance.

As you can see I did enjoy it Darren. It is a Sussmayr version in case you were not aware of it.
