YORK BOWEN Oboe Sonata (16’)
FINZI Interlude for Oboe and String Quartet (12’)
BAX Oboe Quintet (17’)

An English programme of 20th century works for oboe.

English pianist and composer York Bowen wrote a chromatic and highly melodic sonata that elegantly pairs piano and oboe in languid dialogue. Finzi’s interlude for string quartet and oboe is resonant and evocative: full of tension and uneasy beauty. To finish, Bax’s Oboe Quintet is a study in mischief and melancholy, with expressive solos for both violin and oboe resolving in a folk-inspired, jig-like finale.

About the Artists

Ensemble 360

Ensemble 360 has gained an enviable reputation across the UK not only for the quality and integrity of its playing, but also for its ability to communicate the music to a range of different audiences. Formed in 2005, 11 musicians of international standing came together to take up residency in Sheffield with Music in the Round, establishing a versatile group of five string players, five wind players and a pianist. The musicians believe that concerts should be informal, friendly and relaxed occasions, and perform ‘in the round’ wherever possible. Critical acclaim has greeted all the group’s CDs to date: Mozart and Spohr (ASV Gold), Beethoven and Poulenc (Nimbus Alliance).
