Th�odore Dubois: Chamber Music - Th�odore Dubois: Chamber Music

The music of Th�odore Dubois (1837�1924) has rather been overshadowed by that of other French composers of the same period, not least Faur� and Saint-Sa�ns. But Dubois does not deserve his relative neglect: not only was he a superlative craftsman, but he could also unfold a fetching melody and had a strong sense of musical narrative. This recital of chamber works for oboe and strings is noteworthy for a further quality, one often underestimated: much of the music is, quite simply, charming.
