Here is a nudge in the direction of a very fine concert given at the Wigmore Hall yesterday by oboist Nicholas Daniel and pianist Huw Watkins.
They were in the company of three fine living composers – Althea Talbot-Howard, Michael Berkeley and David Matthews – whose music features in the concert, alongside works by Clara and Robert Schumann, and an arrangement for oboe and piano of a Mozart violin sonata.
Talbot-Howard’s contribution is to rework an attractive sonata for flute and harp by Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, for oboe and piano, another stage in the concert rehabilitation of this remarkable 18th century composer.
You can watch a lovely, affirmative hour of music on YouTube below:
