Description
Alessandro Marcello, the Italian Baroque composer, seems to be less well known than his contemporaries, Vivaldi and Albinoni. Yet his Oboe Concerto in D minor is still a favourite – particularly with oboists, of course. It even caught the attention of J S Bach, who arranged it for keyboard.
