Description
With the release of The Queen's Favourites in 2021, La Petite Ecurie provided listeners insight into the original repertoire for the Oboe Band, which was very much in vogue at the time of Queen Anne (c. 1700). The debut album received five Diapasons in the renowned French magazine and numerous positive reviews. The International Double Reed Society described their "beautiful tone, precise intonation, rhythmic vigor, and wonderful sense of style." The inspiration for the latest album by La Petite Ecurie, No Strings Attached, originates from the preface of Johann Christian Schieferdecker's thirteen Musikalische Concerte, in which he expressed that: "They were composed with such care that, in the absence of the necessary people, they could also be performed with only 4 voices, namely 3 Hautbois and 1 Bassoon". With this sentence, Schieferdecker encapsulates the fundamental idea that strings are sometimes redundant! No Strings Attached presents music by composers from Germany (Schieferdecker & Keiser), France (Boismortier & Dornel), Italy (Vivaldi) and England (Handel & Purcell), whose compositions showcase the endless virtuosic capabilities of the Oboe Band.
