About

Michael Gielen is the conductor for the Oboe Concerto and for Lutoslawski's Double Concerto.

"The sound is clear but never analytical, the perspective unobtrusive and outstandingly natural. One can, in short, concentrate undistracted on the performances which …are highly distinguished.…without abandoning any of his seemingly effortless dexterity or his highly personal tone quality….(in the Strauss) he has also found a sweetness, an affectionate tenderness…. and it is a joy to hear every note so crisply and neatly tucked into place. (Lutoslawski) After Strauss's backward glances toward the 18th century, it is easier than ever to find others in the Double Concerto, which is rapidly becoming that rare phenomenon, a truly popular contemporary classic…. It is a lovable work, and the Holligers play it with relaxed enjoyment as well as brilliance“ - Gramophone
