The scintillating oboe-playing of Nicholas Daniel is the highlight of
this concert, with the centrepiece being Vaughan Williams’ pastoral
oboe concerto, a piece he made his own when he won the BBC Young Musician
of the Year in 1980. Nicholas Daniel also treats us to a typically vivacious
Vivaldi concerto and Bach’s beautiful double concerto for oboe and
violin, in which he is joined by Britten Sinfonia’s leader Jacqueline
Shave. Two early works for strings by towering figures of the 20th century
complete the programme: Shostakovich's Prelude and Scherzo for double
string quartet was probably composed while he was still a student at the
Leningrad Conservatory, while Britten’s tribute to his teacher Frank
Bridge was the work which catapulted Britten onto the international music
scene.
