Britten abd Bliss

 

Classical Music CD Review
After listening to Ralph Vaughan Williams' Concerto in A minor for Oboe and Strings, I've been on an oboe kick. Luckily, I received this album not to many days ago to review. I absolutely love Britten's Phantasy Quartet No. 2, featuring an oboe performed by famous oboist, Alex Klein. It's hands down the best work on the album. Half the album has a modern, yet refined classical sound, while the latter half does not. For the beginner, Britten and Bliss may not be the album for you.
