About

French music for oboe and piano lies at the heart of the oboe repertoire. In this their third album, Catherine Tanner-Williams and Christopher Williams present the famous oboe sonatas of Saint-Saëns, Poulenc and Dutilleux alongside their own brand-new transcriptions of well-known arias from Bizet’s Carmen, including the Habanera “L’amour est us oiseau rebelle” - Love is a rebellious bird. The oboe’s vocal quality also shines in Brod’s Fantaisie on the Mad Scene from Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor and Ravel’s Pièce en forme d’Habanera. The disc includes the neglected Fantaisies of Henri Dallier and Blai (Blas) Maria Colomer, and world-premiere recordings of the Nocturne and Impromptu by Louise-Marie Simon, (who wrote under the pseudonym Claude Arrieu).
