 Further Listening For Those Interested May 29, 2007
10 out of 14 found this review helpful
I recommend this cd for the listener who would like to hear a large sampling of oboe repertoire at a reasonable price. That said, there are other recordings available which highlight the individual mastery of other artists performing the same repertoire, shedding different light on the works represented in this collection.
For examlple:
Le Tombeau de Couperin: James Caldwell with The Chamber Symphony of Philadelphia, conducted by Anshel Brusilow. This recording is by far the most artistic, and lyrical recording of Tombeau I have ever heard. It was rereleased on the cd "Building Castles in the Sky". (which also contains quintessential Baroque recordings of Telemann and Handel)
Building Castles in the Sky
Richard Strauss, Concerto for Oboe and Small Orchestra: Alex Klein with The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Barenboim. This recording captures the masterful legato which Maestro Barenboim desired for the opening of the Concerto. The slower legato opening only heightens the difficulty of the work due to the exhausting endurance needed for the piece. The recording should prove to be an enjoyable listen for any audience. Strauss Oboe Concerto. won a grammy.
Strauss: Wind Concertos
Marcello in D min. : John de Lancie, Ray Still
Concertos for Oboe
Mozart k314: John Mack, Conducted by Christoph Von Dohnanyi (Cleveland Orchestra Mozart: Clarinet, Oboe, and Bassoon Concertos.) strong recording of a pivotal repertoire piece.
Chicago Symphony released two recordings of the mozart, one with Ray Still and one with Alex Klein. Released on The Chicago Principal Reocrdings volume 1 and 3.
Mozart: Clarinet Concerto; Oboe Concerto; Bassoon Concerto /F Cohen * Mack * McGill * Cleveland Orchestra * Dohnanyi
Mozart: Horn Concerto No. 3; Bassoon Concerto; Oboe Concerto; Haydn: Trumpet Concerto
The recordings I have listed are fantastic additions to any musical collection. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

Received in a few weeks, probably because it was shipped with another oboe cd. Both are excellent cd's and were in very good condiiton.
Appealing Junction of Master Oboists & Composers December 13, 2006
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This two CD set brings together eleven great composers: Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Marcello, Vaughan Williams, Ravel, Schumann, Britten, Poulenc and Stravinsky with their compositions for oboe. These are played by eight oboists: Black, Gomberg, Holliger, Koch, Mack, Nicklin, Schellenberger and Still. This is all world oboe team from Europe as well as states.
For many like me you will find both some familiar pieces and performers and some new ones to discover and delight in as well. New in this set for this reviewer was Strauss' Concerto in D Major for Oboe and Small Orchestra, played here wonderfully by Lothar Koch backed by Berliner Philharmonic. The Andante and Vivace were moving pieces! However, my favorite track which is also new is the Finale/Presto to Beethoven's Trio in C Major for 2 Oboes and English Horn.
This collection also allowed me to be acquainted with an oboist previously not known to me, Celia Nicklin. She performs Vaughan Williams Concerto for Oboe and Strings, ably backed by Academy of St. Martin in the Fields with Sir Neville. This pastoral work is dreamy and flowing, and Nicklin's playing enhances this with clarity and clear tonal sound.
Black's stylistic playing is very evident and carrys the day on Mozart's Quartet in F Major for Oboe and Strings, especially his fine delivery on the Rondeau.
Such a nice collection of composers and oboists that should be purchased, given and listened to with joy.
Really masters... November 4, 2006

I recommended this CD not only for oboists. It can be really helpful for peoples, who study music or just interested about oboe. But it is not CD for phone.
Of course, all oboists are marvelous. And when they strike up, I go away from my listening-room.
