The Oboe Concerto is highly theatrical virtuoso solo music for both soloist and orchestra. The dramatic and coloratura qualities of the oboe are emphasized in the fourth movement Aria. This section has a concerto-grosso aspect, with its concertino of string quartet and tutti of orchestra. The high point is a fiery oboe cadenza.
— John Corigliano
