Description
The music of Th?odore Dubois (1837-1924) has rather been overshadowed by that of other French composers of the same period, not least Faur? and Saint-Sa?ns. But Dubois does not deserve his relative neglect: not only was he a superlative craftsman, but he could also unfold a fetching melody and had a strong sense of musical narrative. This recital of chamber works for oboe and strings is noteworthy for a further quality, one often underestimated: much of the music is, quite simply, charming.
