Three Masters
OMETIMES one wonders on what principle, if any, the Compositions on the hour’s music from the YC stations on Sunday are chosen. On Sunday, September 12, however, 2YC broadcast a delightfully chosen hour of masterpieces not only of composition, but of playing and recording. Mozart’s Oboe Quartet is a glorious work, whose playing by Leon Goossens and three of the Lener Quartet is an object lesson in exquisite phrasing and polished style. No less notable is the recording by Kell and the Busch Quartet of the Brahms Clarinet Quintet, though after their passionate treatment of the first movement the speed of the second always seems to me just a trifle on the slow side. To introduce these two works by Evelyn Rothwell playing the oboe in a Corelli Concerto was a happy idea.
