It is especially useful if you only want a particular piece and don't need any background information. (This index might be helpful.) Most Oboe Classics CDs are available on most of the download sites. This page indicates the availability of each release, along with any special comments. It also has details of a download only album. It focuses on Amazon and iTunes as being familiar, widespread sites. To locate an album, type its name into the site's search facility. Of the two, Amazon is slightly cheaper; and iTunes sometimes doesn't allow the longer tracks to be bought separately. A search engine will take you to your country's version of these sites; if you use Amazon.co.uk via this link, you pay the same but we get a commission: New to downloads, or want more information?

The Polmear Ambache Duo have given recitals in 33 countries on 5 continents, and have also performed many programmes of words and music. For these situations they look for short, expressive pieces that can appeal to a wide range of listener. This album contains some of their favourite such pieces. On the oboe, some works are unfamiliar, such as Maria Parke's Andante espressivo or the Danse de la Mer Noire by Turkish composer Erol Erdinç. Some are better known, such as Gabriel's Oboe. The four cor anglais tracks include Dido's Lament and Ravel's Habañera. The six alto sax tracks are arrangements of jazz and show tunes, such as Duke Ellington's It don't mean a thing and George Gershwin's Summertime. [Total 18 tracks; 46:36] There are session photos, and PDF (printable) track details in A4 or CD booklet format.
