A Tribute to Janet.
The Britten Oboe Quartet here makes its recording debut with a programme of its core repertory. It naturally includes the great Mozart Quartet K.370 and Britten’s own Phantasy op.2, but also two pieces that have a special resonance for the distinguished oboist Nicholas Daniel, because they were commissioned and premiered by Janet Craxton (1929-81), his ‘beloved teacher’ and inspiration, and her London Oboe Quartet. Thus Oliver Knussen’s Cantata (1977) and the delightful Cor Anglais Quartet of Jean Françaix add further variety to a fascinating anthology that also features Nicholas Daniel’s own completion of Mozart’s elegiac fragment K580a.

Hommage à Janet.
Pour ses débuts discographiques, le Britten Oboe Quartet présente un programme tiré de son cœur de répertoire. On y trouve bien sûr le grand Quatuor K.370 de Mozart ainsi que le Phantasy Quartet de Britten lui-même, mais aussi deux pièces possédant une connotation spéciale pour l’éminent hautboïste Nicholas Daniel, puisqu’elles furent commandées et créées par Janet Craxton, sa “très chère professeure“, et son London Oboe Quartet. Ainsi, la Cantata d’Oliver Knussen et le délicieux Quatuor pour cor anglais et cordes de Jean Françaix diversifient encore davantage un florilège fascinant qui comporte aussi le fragment mozartien K.580a, au ton élégiaque, achevé par Nicholas Daniel.
