Performance ****½ Sonics ***** The recording is ideal for both instruments and repertoire, captured in the extremely low noise-floor of the famous Galaxy Studios in Belgium. There is an attractive soft ambient halo around the instruments in the very well-balanced Stereo track, expanded somewhat in Multichannel mode, which also adds some aural three-dimensionality to the trio. Beware, however, your first playing of the disc. I was startled by the loud sound produced at my usual listening level, especially as the Poulenc’s opening should be pianissimo. Hastily knocking back the master volume quickly found the correct relative level and all was well. This fine recording, once calibrated in your system, will not distract a listener from the music by one iota, except perhaps to marvel at its truthfulness. Whether or not you are already an oboe fan, I commend this beautiful and multifaceted chamber concert to you. It is hard to resist the happy advocacy of Messrs Van den Hauwe, Ouziel and Boudreault in an entirely natural recording. John Miller - SA-CD.net - 3 May 2013
