When Classic FM first played Gordon Hunt's Elevazione, and announced that it was set to be in the Top 3 of the Classic FM Hall of Fame for 2002 I was not surprised in the slightest.
This is the only CD to have prompted me to submit a review to Amazon, but if you listen to this CD, sub-titled "the magic of the oboe", you will know why.
Gordon Hunt is an accomplished player and conductor, and a quick look at his oboist.co.uk web site, will show you just how much in demand he is at concerts all over the world. The CD starts with Albinoni's Allegro from the Concerto in D minor for oboe; if you were in a grumpy mood before you pressed PLAY, this will lift your spirits, and the rest of the album will not disappoint either.
The tracks have been carefully chosen, with a well-balanced programme of Albinoni, JS Bach, Marcello, Zipoli and Cimarosa lasting just under an hour.
I first listened to Gordon Hunt's Elevazione on Classic FM over the kitchen radio, whilst cooking, but then bought the CD and listened to it in the car, on the way back from the shop. It was only when I put it on the hi-fi that the real beauty of the recording came to life.
This is a CD for many moods, for relaxation, entertainment, and love.
Top 3 on Classic FM? I bet it gets to No. 1.

The works of Albinoni, Bach and Marcello will be known to many who choose to purchase this disc, but the real gem here is the title track by Zipoli. Currently being given well deserved exposure on Classic FM,this stunningly beautiful track is worth the purchase price alone. If you had a bad day in the office, this is the perfect piece of relaxation music to take you to another dimension. This is serene music at its very best and any lover of The Mission film soundtrack album will appreciate this track.
All the works are expertly played, and this fine disc should be in every music lovers collection, accompanied as they are with an interesting set of notes on the music, and the composers.
I'm certainly going to look further into the music of Zipoli on the evidence of this track, and I'm sure his fan club will grow: it certainly deserves better exposure.

This is my favourite CD at the moment, and my "BEST BUY" of the year. It has a wonderful collection of music to suit many moods. I listen to it in the car, in the kitchen, on the hi-fi or just as background music - it really suits a variety of occasions, and has something for everyone.
If you are buying a new classical CD, I recommend this one - I will definately be buying this as a Christmas present for close friends!

Very relaxing,especially Elevazione by Zippoli which has been played a lot on Classic FM.The oboe when well played, is,arguably one of the most listenable of classical instruments.

Outstanding
This is the best Classical CD that I have ever bought. No-one plays Oboe like Gordon does. I am being serious when I say that I actually wore the CD out as I played it that much... Read more
