Various Artists - Oboe Rarities - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Every instrument's repertoire is usually rich in works composed in very idiomatic ways and realized by authors often unknown to the general audience. Especially in the 19th Century it is possible to notice a very rich literature dedicated to the most different musical instruments able to satisfy the needs and requirements of the one who had to perform as a soloist. In the case of oboe the works we present are an example of a production that collects virtuosity and melodic pleasure. They are all by 19th Century Composers from all over the world - Spain (Escobés), France (Saint-Saëns, Stupuy), The Netherlands (Barth) and England (Walmisley)- everyone with their own peculiarities but united in the perfect agreement of the virtuosic and expressive resources of oboe. Enrico Calcagni is a keen scholar of his instrument repertoire both classic and contemporaneous (as you can see in Vermeer 40020 Henry's Adventure) and in this we have a tangible interpretation of instrumental brilliancy and vividness giving us back in their authenticity too long forgotten works.
