Description
The Oboe Concerto was written for the Britten Sinfonia and Nicholas Daniel, and is dedicated to him. It consists of three movements.
The first movement builds up gradually with rhythmic layers before the soloist joins in, leading to a sudden change in tempo and mood. The music then reverses structurally, followed by a solemn coda.
The second movement is based on an earlier work for solo oboe, featuring expressive and sad solo material that interacts with other wind instruments. The third movement begins brashly, showcasing the oboe's virtuosic capabilities before concluding with an exultant ending.
