Portuguese oboist Luís Marques, German bassoonist Franz Jürgen Dörsam and Serbian pianist Savka Konjikusic met in Lisbon as soloists of the Lisbon Metropolitan Orchestra and Portuguese Symphony Orchestra.
…it happened to me immediately as soon as these excellent musicians started playing, this was happiness. Listen to a not very usual formation in chamber music, in which, in addition to the beauty of the writing for the three instruments, you could appreciate the sweetness that can reach instruments like the oboe and bassoon, it was worth it. Beethoven, Theodore Lalliet and Mikhail Glinka, with the added ‘tip’ of a refreshing and charming ‘blues’, sounded magnificently in the hands of these three musicians. How I was glad I had not stayed at home watching the end of the game! This was certainly much more enriching. (Miguel Bustamante Guerrero, 2018)
