Precious few records of Old Roman Chant remain, many having being intentionally destroyed by the Franciscans intent on imposing the Romano-Frankish modes. Ensemble Organum have attempted to reconstruct, with their usual meticulous scholarship, what it might have sounded like. The result is mindblowing, and makes one weep for what treasures of beautiful music must have been lost forever with the triumph of the somewhat blander, "dumbed-down" Gregorian forms. This recreation, as the sleeve notes say, "brings alive the missing link between Byzantine, Coptic, Armenian and Syrian Chant, and Arab and Western music". Fabulous stuff.

In my modest opinion this is an amazing record.

My college music appreciation instructor said the Oboe was the purest tone instrument in the orchestra. Albinoni is the quintessential baroque composer, along with Corelli, Vivaldi, Telemann, & Handel.

The pieces are ornamented and embellished in typical baroque style. Typical early sonata allegro form. The instruments, to this mediocre ear, are crisp, clean, and professionally played. Meter is consistent (Baroque music is all about structure). You'll find this an excellent addition to a well rounded collection and pleasant listening.

"After the German Flute, the oboe surely comes closest to the human voice when handled nicely and in songful fashion, which requires a noble disposition and, most particularly, a total command of the art of singing." (Johann Mattheson, Das neu-eroff-nete Orchestre, Hamburg 1713).
