ARTARIA 2 is a virtuosic tour de force of breathtaking double reed sounds, an eclectic mix of evocative chamber music, layered together in a stunning studio first. From haunting oboe d'amores - 'the oboe of love'- to a modern Australian seven instrument multi-layering, Celia Craig's new album centers around a new reading of a lesser known masterpiece: Beethoven's Grand Trio for two oboes and cor anglais, originally published by Artaria Editions, Vienna.
"Ingeniously arranged and expertly performed, this recording is a must for fans of the oboe, or for anyone seeking to experience the unique expressiveness and wit this instrument has to offer..." Jonathan Kelly, Principal Oboe, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
