Nearly fifty years separate Schoeck’s first and last major orchestral works, recorded here – but his commitment to the German Romantic tradition remains undimmed. Brunner’s neoclassical Partita betrays the influence of Hindemith, but has a Brahmsian meatiness to its piano part, while Widmer’s influences in his exuberant concerto range from Bartók to Brazilian street music.

He left a lot of music for the cor anglais as well as for the oboe, and we are particularly proud to present this complete recital devoted to some of his most brilliant compositions for the instrument, with many of his works based upon famous themes from Italian operas of the 19th-century. In addition, this outstandingly played and recorded CD includes music by two earlier composers for the cor anglais, and the result is a dazzling display of virtuoso playing and expressive characterisation by Martin Frutiger, one of the leading exponents on the cor anglais currently before the public.
