About
“I couldn’t have imagined a better constellation for my first album!” says Cristina Gómez Godoy about her first recording. She has chosen this repertoire because these pieces made her fall in love with the instrument and music. As a musician in Daniel Barenboim’s Berlin-based orchestra, she feels very privileged to have recorded her first album with him, accompanied by the West Eastern Divan Orchestra, with whom she has played for many years

April 2022
Godoy’s tone has an exceptional purity and beauty, without a trace of narcissism, and her musicianship is as gifted as it gets...the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra’s contribution is state-of-the-art, responding to Barenboim’s direction with a special class of supportive alertness.
March 2022
Godoy’s tone is rich and velvety, and ideally suited to the ecstatic, songful outpouring of Strauss’s 1945 Oboe Concerto.
17th April 2022
this recording by the Staatskapelle Berlin’s principal oboist is a joy: the Spaniard locates fresh nuance and beauty in the ever-familiar Mozart and, in harness with Barenboim and his pan-Middle Eastern players, captures thrillingly the fecundity of Richard Strauss’s Indian summer.
