Husband and wife duo Catherine and Christopher celebrate their 25th year of musical partnership with this album of world premiere recordings of works which have been borrowed or transcribed for oboe and piano, including 3 pieces by Richard Strauss which were arranged specially for this release. Let the music take you along quiet forest paths, to magical castles and sparkling Viennese balls. Featuring a sonata by Mozart, and operatic works by Glinka and Richard Strauss, this disc showcases the oboe's lyrical and virtuosic sides in an intimate chamber music setting. Catherine and Christopher met at Cardiff University, where they both studied music as undergraduates. They began playing together almost from the moment they met. When Chris was soloist in Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G, Catherine played the famous cor anglais solo in the slow movement, and he accompanied her for her final degree recital, her ARCM diploma, and her final postgraduate recital at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. In their 25 years as a couple, on and off stage, they have performed together across the UK.
