Remarks:

Our last new release features not only the composer Jean Francaix but also the oboist Lajos Lencses, who has always lent his support to this French composer. Francaix dedicated himself to all the musical genres, and instrumental music also accounts for a large share of his oeuvre. On the present recording we hear the entertaining 'Trio for Oboe, Bassoon, and Piano,' the 'Quartet for English Horn and Strings,' and the clearly structured, pleasurable, and highly virtuosic 'String Quartet in G' with the Parisii Quartet. The composer always challenged his interpreters with the highest technical demands while conjuring up the same in his scores with the skill of a master musical magician. The CD program is complemented by the refreshingly carefree 'L'horloge de Flore' (seven-part floral clock) for oboe and orchestra. Lencses, who has long belonged to the international oboe elite, is again our soloist.
