Malcolm Messiter - Up Close and Personal at The Warehouse

A wonderful opportunity to hear one of the greatest oboe players of his generation, Malcolm Messiter, in London Festival Orchestra's 'Up Close and Personal' series at the orchestra's home, The Warehouse.

Lionel Markson of Records & Recordings:

‘An astounding display of virtuosity such as I have never heard before from an oboist. Bewildering velocity of fingers and tongue, phenomenal breath control, harmonics and the upward extension of the oboe’s range a fourth beyond its ‘highest’ note, F in altissimo, are allied to rhythmic vivacity and exuberant showmanship. Yet, we hear ravishing tone and a musician’s sensibility. After my first encounter with the British oboist Malcolm Messiter I can best describe him as the Heifetz of the oboe.’

Audience capacity in Studio 1 at The Warehouse is limited, so book early.
