Andre Previn (conductor)

Description:

The oboe concerto, which makes full use of the characteristics of the instrument, expresses the composer's reserved and sensitive sensibility in his later years. Two horn concertos in the style of a return to his roots, known as masterpieces on a par with Mozart; a double concerto for two solo instruments in the style of an ensemble concerto; and a concerto for oboe and piano in the style of an ensemble concerto for two solo instruments. Previn will be joined by the principal players of the Vienna Philharmonic for this collection of R. Strauss' masterpieces.
