This collection of duos for oboe (specifically English horn) and piano by Benjamin
Britten, Pavel Haas, Paul Hindemith and Nikos Skalkottas are not only interrelated
by the period in which they arose – the years 1935-1941 – but also as haunting documents
of musical paths through an increasingly gloomy time. Hindemith‘s sonatas for
English horn and piano, part of his larger sonata oeuvre, reflect internalization and technical dispassion
before and during his emigration. Pavel Haas’ suite is a subtle protest against the annexation of
Czechoslovakia by Nazi Germany. Skalkottas‘ concertino is part of a unique oeuvre that the student
of Schönberg wrote in artistic isolation and under desolate external circumstances in his home
country. In both ingenious works of the young Benjamin Britten, a deep unease with the political
conditions of the pre-war period is perceptible beneath a surface of virtuosic luster. An enormous
contribution to the small repertoire of 20th century oboe literature, these works also present great
musical and artistic challenges to the performers.
