Since winning the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition at the age of 18 Nicholas Daniel has developed a long and distinguished career as one of the foremost exponents of the oboe. In this concert Nicholas performs James MacMillan’s Oboe Concerto written especially for him and Britten Sinfonia. The rest of the concert features Beethoven’s vigorous Symphony No. 2 and Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony, a powerful reaction to the 1945 bombing of Dresden.
In the following short film Nicholas Daniel talks about commissioning music and James MacMillan's new oboe concerto

“The oboe's lyrical properties are extensively exploited, with Daniel demonstrating his seamless line and the ample range of colour that he has at his disposal.” Daily Telegraph
