These are the best of Romantic miniatures for oboe, english horn and piano by Robert and Clara Schumann. The American magazine Fanfare has written: "Jeremy Polmear is ideal for these kinds of pieces because his playing is so controlled. The sound he produces varies from the softest, most delicate tones to more powerfully evocative sonorities." The BBC Music Magazine (UK) has designated this the 'Benchmark Recording' (best available version) for this repertoire.
