Mozart: Divertimento & Oboe Quartet

Director and violinist Alexander Janiczek leads principal players from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra in this beautifully intimate recording. Mozart's writing allows each player to shine and demonstrates the depth of talent within the Ensemble, illustrating why this orchestra has had such extensive success with its previous Mozart recordings.

The works on this disc are full of well-known tunes which demonstrate Mozart's trademark melodic beauty whilst acclaimed oboist, Robin Williams, gives a dazzling performance of the composer's great masterpiece.

This, the SCO's third recording of Mozart's serenades and divertimenti, is another great addition to the orchestra's catalogue.

A 24-bit 192 kHz studio master for this album is available from the Linn Records website.
