Joseph Robinson of The Double Reed says of Elaine Douvas in this recording: Eschewing overt expression in favor of implication and subtlety, she offers performances that are stylish and full of passion and conviction to be sure, but which, like all great art, withstand and reward the most careful scrutiny. Expert phrasing and articulation by Elaine Douvas in this album demonstrate persuasively that the pieces she has chosen are sufficient to challenge the finest player's imagination, discipline and instrumental skill. This album is a delight for any oboist and again contains a rich collection of music from many periods, from Telemann to Hindemith. Includes sheet music printed on high-quality ivory paper, annotated with performance suggestions and a compact disc with complete versions (with soloist) followed by piano accompaniments to each piece, minus the soloist. Soloist: Elaine Douvas, oboe. Ensemble: Erik Nielsen, piano.

“A strongly influential piece of repertoire, the piece Sweet And Go for solo Oboe, composed by Armando Ghidoni for Marika Lombardi, elegantly explores the poetic and technical resources of the instrument. The diptych, approximately six minutes in length, opens with an Adagio, a free declamation in recitative that is an oasis of tenderness to which the glissandi bring a whiff of the Orient. In contrast to this voluptuous dream, the second section, marked Vivo brilante ben ritmato, enables the soloist to display a sparkling virtuosity. Melodies, rhythms, nuances and colours all contribute to this festival of ingenuity.&rdquo.
