Next we shall hear the English composer Ian Clarke's virtuoso and colourful Curves for three flutes and piano. And after an encounter with Poulenc's Trio for oboe, bassoon and piano, which unites French elegance with charm, wit and melodic sweetness, we set off on a festive trip to the opera with OS's viola section. Our skilled violist Victor Sørensen likes, in his sparse spare time, to arrange the classical music's greatest hits for viola ensemble. Here he has given the opera's greatest masterpieces that treatment - and we get a parade of operatic gems served up by a high-spirited viola section.
