Richard Strauss Oboe Lajos Lencses, RadioSinfonieorchester Stuttgart, Sir Neville Marriner - Metamorphosen Oboenkonzert Oboe Concerto

Review by Moritz Zumbühl

Metamorphosen Oboenkonzert Oboe Concerto by Richard Strauss is a masterpiece that showcases the incredible talents of oboist Lajos Lencses and the RadioSinfonieorchester Stuttgart under the direction of Sir Neville Marriner. The album features the stunning Oboe Concerto, which is considered one of the greatest works for oboe in the repertoire.

Lencses' performance on the oboe is exceptional, with his virtuosic playing and beautiful tone capturing the essence of the piece. He is perfectly supported by the RadioSinfonieorchester Stuttgart, who deliver a powerful and emotional performance under Marriner's direction.

The album also features Strauss' Metamorphosen, a work for 23 solo strings that is a poignant reflection on the destruction of war. The RadioSinfonieorchester Stuttgart delivers a sensitive and nuanced performance of this work, capturing the emotional depth and complexity of the music.
