“Robert Schumann only wrote one work for oboe – but that hasn’t stopped oboist Nicholas Daniel drawing together a gorgeous album of his music. Played with such warmth and eloquence, the arrangements chosen here often feel as if they were tailor-made for the instrument, while the sensitive programming paints a loving portrait of the Schumann household. Through the prism of the oboe, we hear pieces written for an array of other instruments – violin, clarinet, horn and the rare pedal piano – arranged and edited by various names including Daniel himself and the late Howard Ferguson.”
