A Tribute to Oliver Knussen - Britten Oboe Quartet
Oboist Nicholas Daniel returns to Aldeburgh Festival with a programme of chamber works by Knussen, Britten and Debussy as well as a world premiere by Joanna Lee.
Oboist Nicholas Daniel returns to the Snape Maltings and to this year's Aldeburgh Festival with a programme of chamber works reflecting one of the festival's themes - the music of Oliver Knussen, who died last year.
