At 82, Swiss oboist, composer and conductor Heinz Holliger still sparkles with verve, curiosity and a love of music.Les Roseaux Chantants (The Singing Reed Flutes) is an allusion to the double reed with which the notes on the oboe and English horn are made to sound.
Works were chosen that were composed for the unusual combination of two oboes plus English horn.
A tonally very delightful musical experience, as the pieces by Beethoven, Wranitzky, Ganz and not least by Holliger himself impressively demonstrate.
