The oboe is said to be one of the most complex instruments there is, not only for players but for those who compose music for it, too. As a performer and professor, Céline Moinet has studied almost every single piece for the oboe in recent years. Thus she knows all too well that not every composer has been able to handle and stage the instrument in their music in a way that truly does it justice. A few stand out from the crowd, and the musician has already devoted herself to them in detail in her past album projects, including Bach, Robert Schumann, Berio, and Britten, to name a few. On this album, Moinet turns her gaze towards her home country France, and to the composers whose work made her fall in love with the oboe as a young girl: Francis Poulenc (Oboe Sonata and Trio for Oboe, Bassoon, and Piano); Claude Debussy (Rapsodie and Andante from the Piano Trio); Maurice Ravel (Le Tombeau de Couperin); and Camille Saint-Saëns (Oboe Sonata).
