L Berkeley: Concertino, Op. 49; Oboe Quartet; Petite Suite

An auspicious start to the Endymion's planned series of British music, with incisive, sympathetic performances of a varied sequence of solo and ensemble pieces by Lennox Berkeley (1903-89). Cultured, perfectly crafted, but never bland, this is music well worth getting to know. Anthony Burton
