About this product
Johann Sebastian Bach certainly became acquainted with the sound of the oboe at an early age through his father Ambrosius, who was employed as a town piper in Eisenach. The fact that Johann Sebastian recognised and appreciated the expressive power of the oboe at a young age is evident in many of his early compositions, cantatas and concertos. However, there are neither solo nor trio sonatas involving the oboe among his surviving works. This CD fills this gap with a series of chamber music arrangements. Xenia Loffler, solo oboist at the Akademie fur Alte Musik Berlin, presents two flute sonatas with obbligato harpsichord on her instrument, the first of which (BWV 1030b) was probably once even written for the oboe. The two organ trio sonatas in trio arrangement with oboe, violin or viola da gamba and basso continuno elicit new musical colours from the original works. Finally, the three chorale preludes and a chaconna are also very distinctive, which - in various chamber music settings - now allow the original organ works to shine vividly in wonderful tone colours.

A stunning pairing of Mozart's glorious 'Gran Partita' Serenade with a work written specifically to be performed alongside it, Geysir by the exceptional clarinetist-composer, Mark Simpson. Mark Simpson's simmering, volcanic Geysir was inspired by the rich opening chord of Mozart's 'Gran Partita', and by it's bubbling clarinet writing, which develop into what Simpson describes as a Inchflurry of colour and harmonic shiftsInch. As a clarinetist himself, writing Geysir Inchwas an instinctive thing - it never felt like trying to overcome any limitations... I'm very proud of it...Inch Mark Simpson, who performs on this alongside a line-up of other extraordinary musicians including oboist Nicholas Daniel, was the first ever winner of both the BBC Young Musician of the Year and BBC Proms/Guardian Young Composer of the Year competitions in 2006. By 2019 he was composer in residence at the Leicester International Music Festival, and is currently working on a Violin Concerto for Nicola Benedetti and commissions for the LSO, WDR Sinfonieorchester and RSNO.
![Xenia Loffler - Oboe Concertos At The Court Of Thurn & Taxis - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/7f615b00-113e-40ff-9d40-8c47aed4eaaa.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The granting of the postal monopoly for the entire empire brought the Thurn and Taxis court immeasurable wealth and Regensburg rose to become one of the most important music centres in the German-speaking world in the second half of the 18th century. Outstanding musicians were engaged for the court orchestra, the most important of whom was the oboist Giovanni Palestrini. His playing must have made a great impression on Prince Alexander and he was held in high esteem. For this reason, the Thurn and Taxis court library contains a strikingly large number of oboe concertos, over 100 in all, from which the renowned baroque oboist Xenia Löffler has selected four impressive examples by Franz Xaver Kerzelli, Joan Baptista Pla and Theodor von Schacht. The music is influenced by Viennese classical music, is full of wonderful melodies and radiates a great lightness. Schacht's concerto already shows the first traits of early Romanticism and, with three oboes as solo instruments, is a special case in music history. Xenia Löffler has enlisted her two equally renowned oboe colleagues Alfredo Bernardini and Michael Bosch for this cabinet piece.
