Concerto for rare instrument
Review By jleonard,April 2012

I think most buyers of this disc will be attracted by the Oboe d'Amore concerto. If so they won't be disappointed. The disc is worth buying for this alone.

Schiffman writes in a modern, but not avant garde style, his harmonies are fresh but not too harsh. He writes in a neo-classical/neo-romantic style that reminds me of Hindemith, Prokofiev, Lennox Berkeley, sometimes Finzi.

The Oboe d'Amore concerto is a lovely deep-breathed work that encapsulates the tonal qualities of this beautiful instrument. The symphony and the piano concerto weren't quite so compelling for me on first hearing. But I'm sure this music has more to offer on repeated listening.

Highly recommended.
