How times change! Reviewing the original LP issue of this recording almost ten years ago, NA understandably regretted the omission of the other four (string) concertos of Albinoni's Op. 7 that would have lent completeness and tonal variety to the issue, noting that two integral but less desirable recordings were on the market, each occupying two LPs. An integral recording would however yield two woefully underfilled CDs and, in today's value-for-money climate, concomitant condemnation unless filled out with something else, which raises other problems. Perhaps we should not mourn over dropped concertos but, rather, welcome those we are offered—freshsounding, tuneful, resourceful and often surprising works, unusually idiomatic to the oboe in their time and persuasively played (on modern instruments) and well recorded. You will want to hear them all, if not at one sitting.'
