19th Century performer/composer Antonino Pasculli has been described as the 'Paganini of the oboe', and the study Le Api (The Bees) is a four-minute high wire act.

Pasculli's writing is leavened with a spirit of geniality, especially in the Poliuto Fantasia, evoking the Italian countryside. But virtuosity is the keynote, with seemingly impossible feats of derring-do, as in the variations from La Favorita.

Reviews

Anthony Holden - Observer

"Christopher Redgate needs all his considerable virtuosity to negotiate the fiendish challenges set by Pasculli on themes from Verdi, Meyerbeer and Donizetti, not to mention the 'characteristic study' Le Api (The Bees). This is fascinating music played with extreme panache."
