Music reviews of Masters of the Oboe

Music Review: An album that belongs to every oboist's library
Rating: 5 Stars

This is THE oboe album I had been waiting for ages - a compilation of some of the most popular/representative oboe works, played by real masters on the instrument. There are limitations of course, because only artists on the roster of Universal Classics (DG, Philips and Decca) can be represented here. So we are missing the great Pierre Pierlot, who is represented on The Magic Of the Oboe, as well as the younger batch of oboists, who seem to have difficulty getting recording contracts with a big recording company. Douglas Boyd, who recorded quite a few solo albums for DG before he hung up his oboe for the baton in 2002, is another notable absentee here.

All the oboists featured here play on the modern instrument (i.e. no baroque oboe featured here). The youngest of the soloists featured here was born in 1948, and three of them are no longer with us.

The items played by Schellenberger, to my knowledge, are making their debut on CD. They are drawn from his debut album (on LP) for DG, one or two years after his Munich success, and about 7 years before he was installed as the principal oboe of the Berlin Philharmonic. His predecessor and one-time colleague Lothar Koch is presented here in the classic acount of the Strauss concerto. Holliger's Marcello recording is his last, on Philips from 1987. His tone here is less reedy than and not as thin as his usual standard.

Not credited on the back cover are Hans Elhorst and Maurice Bourgue, who play second oboe and English horn respectively in the Beethoven Trio. Overall, oboists from both sides of the Atlantic are both represented. That seems to have been a conscious decision by Universal, since American oboists are much less represented on their catalog to start with.

Another oboe album, with shorter, more popular (less classical?) works that I also recommend, is Diana Doherty's Souvenirs. On that album you can find pieces like Piazzolla Oblivion and Morricone's Gabirel's Oboe, as well as slow movements from concertos by Marcello, Albinoni and Vivaldi, among other pieces of "romantic" music, played by one of today's top oboists.

I strongly recommend this 2-CD set to oboists or anyone who loves the oboe. The Schellenberger selections (Bach G minor, Schumann Romances, Britten Six Metamorphoses, Poulenc Sonata) aren't available elsewhere, and the album is worth getting just for those.
