17th June 2022
The overture to Oberon makes for a lively curtain-raiser, with the Akamus strings on gutsy, resonant form in the dramatic opening flourishes, and the plangent timbre of the period woodwind-instruments making delightful work of the lilting pastoral theme. And when Wranitzky unexpectedly throws cannon-effects into the mix in the astonishing third movement of the Symphonie pour la Paix , the Akamus woodwinds and percussion having a blast emulating shrieking fifes and heavy artillery.
