An elegant programme featuring works for oboe alongside duos for strings by Ravel and Mozart. Alexei Ogrintchouk, a young oboist blazing a trail around the world with performances that have people reaching for superlatives, makes his Festival debut. He plays regularly with this group of string soloists who set time aside from their individual careers to enjoy playing together.

Alexei Ogrintchouk: ‘exactly the quality which an oboe deserves but seldom has: colourful, agile... for the expression of the greatest variety of emotions.' De Telegraaf

This event will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3’s Lunchtime Concerts programme at 1:00pm, 26 August 2009. The programme will then be available for streaming and download for one week at bbc.co.uk/iplayer.
