Han de Vries and Alma Musica Amsterdam have delivered a stunning performance with their album, Albinoni Four Oboe Concertos Op9 Nos 258 11. The album features four oboe concertos by Italian composer Tomaso Albinoni, showcasing the virtuosity and musicality of de Vries and the orchestra.

The album opens with Concerto No. 2 in D minor, which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album with its hauntingly beautiful melodies and intricate oboe solos. De Vries' playing is impeccable, displaying a deep understanding and sensitivity to the music.

The second concerto, in B-flat major, is a more uplifting and lively piece, with de Vries' oboe soaring over the orchestra's energetic accompaniment. The third concerto, in G minor, is a somber and introspective piece, with de Vries' oboe conveying a sense of melancholy and longing.

The album concludes with Concerto No. 11 in C major, a joyful and celebratory piece that showcases de Vries' technical prowess and musicality. Alma Musica Amsterdam provides a solid and sensitive accompaniment throughout the album, highlighting the beauty and complexity of Albinoni's music.
