notes

"The CD introduces Jennifer Paull's group of oboists, The Amoris Consort....This is all 20th century music but very approachable. Edwin Carr's portrait of Waiheke Island, where he lives near Auckland, is cleverly written for this ensemble. Leonard Salzedo's inventive Sonata a Tré and his arrangement of Mátyás Seiber's Leichte Tänze are no less strikingly inventive, the latter using the musette to great effect."

...Gordon Hunt, Principal oboe, Philharmonia Orchestra, London (British Double Reed Society magazine Double Reed News, No. 41, Winter Edition 1997)

  • A noteworthy album of contemporary classical compositions for professional oboe
    author: Tamara D. Turner

    The stirring and poignant sound of the oboe is at its best in this complete album of classical compositions performed by a professional, expressive, animated and sensitive oboe quartet. Utilizing all the voices of the oboe family, oboe/musette, oboe d'amore, english horn and bass oboe, The Amoris Consort, the fruit of a lifetime specialization in oboe d'amore by music academic, Jennifer Paull, is a group that will carry you on a sound so familiar and old to the history of music that you will sense the atmospheres of royal courts even while these accessible contemporary compositions open the doors of relatively recent harmonic possibilities. Don't miss this elegant work of art.
