This album does not contain some of the more innovative or emotional music of C.P.E. Bach, but the Flute Concerti presented here are vital, interesting music and quite difficult to play. Aurele Nicolet, the flutist here, does an admirable job, playing with both technical proficiency and fire, and conductor David Zinman does equally well with the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra. The Oboe Concerti are not quite as emotionally engaging, though there are some fine musical ideas and Holliger plays well. In short, a fine album to own, especially if you have been looking for musically creative flute music.
Again not en par with Neville Mariner's recordings, but good enough to enjoy. St Martin in the Field seems to have left these pieces out of their repertoire.
