“Venice, The Golden Age” – Oboe Concerti by VIVALDI, PORTA, MARCELLO and others – Xenia Löffler, oboe /Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin – Harmonia mundi
The very best Italian baroque oboe concertos.

Boesch scores a real winner here, perhaps his finest solo outing to date.

Bravo to all concerned in one of the finest Russian choral music releases in years.
