The newly appointed principal oboe, Jonathan Fischer, takes the solo limelight in Mozart's tuneful Oboe Concerto.

Also enjoy Robert Schumann's burst of inspiration in his Symphony No. 2. Its energetic and whimsical Scherzo — with a sweet and melodious second theme — is one of the composer's most famous works.
