Notes & Reviews:

Giovanni Benedetto Platti was an "oboista", an oboe virtuoso, at the Court of the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg.

Platti came to the city on the Main River - after his employer's death only two years later, he continued to remain under his successors.

Florian Birsak's playing is outstanding, and so are the performances of Rüdiger Lotter and Sebastian Hess. They fully explore the qualities of Platti's music, and both the virtuosic and the more expressive aspects of these pieces are convincingly conveyed.

The ensemble is immaculate and results in an eloquent dialogue between the three instruments.
