...shame that Carl Schlaikjer did not receive credit in the program listings for his oboe d'amore playing. It was a display of virtuoso caliber remarkable for its sensitivity of phrase and quality of tone. The instrument's sound filled the church in beautiful counterpoint to the alto-tenor duet...
...poor intonation. On the whole, the woodwinds came off better than the strings, though everyone seemed to be working hard.

Oboist Carl Schlaikjer was shaky in the second movement, but recovered by the sixth and spun out some of the most mellifluous, well-shaped line I have ever heard.

The tone had body, and the rhythm had vitality.
