You would expect the principal woodwind players of a team in the London Symphony Orchestra’s league to perform at stellar technical level. Even more striking, and highly appealing besides, is the musical spirit that’s in evidence here throughout, and which suits Mozart’s music to near perfection.

Martín ensures the accompaniments never fall back upon routine…the persuasiveness of the musicianship on display throughout is its own recommendation.

Martín enjoyed a top-flight career as a flautist for many years (often playing in sections alongside some of the musicians here) before switching to conducting, and he really does seem to breathe and phrase as one with the soloists. First among equals is Olivier Stankiewicz, whose stratospheric cadenzas in the Oboe Concerto go beyond what I'd thought possible on the instrument. All the while sustaining absolute beauty of tone.
