ALBINONI: CONCERTOS - I Musici, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields

“that Albinoni wrote excellent solo concertos is clear enough from this record, all players involved are splendid …very well recorded. These will please admirers of I Musici, the group is well-balanced and the soloists admirable. The oboe concerto No.2 is splendid, while the finale of No.5 is irresistible. Of the violin concertos Nos.7 and 10 are outstanding … Op.5 is an altogether tauter piece, and indeed a very distinguished one by any standards, with an exquisite central Adagio”(Gramophone)
