Type: CD
Collection: Contemporary music
Subcollection: Oboe

Works for oboe and strings (either string trio or quartet) form a considerable part of the oboe's historic repertoire. Works first appeared in the 1750s and by the 1770s were very popular. Over 100 works survive from this period; the most famous being the Mozart Oboe Quartet in F K370. It is not, however, until the 20th century that works are once again written for this ensemble, many for the renowned British oboists Leon Goossens and Janet Craxton. Surrounding these figures a substantial body of music for oboe and string trio or quartet has been written, the most well known work being Britten’s Phantasy Quartet op 2. The works for oboe and strings represented on this CD, while in many ways being part of this great tradition, offer significantly different ways of writing for the ensemble; taking different compositional and stylistic approaches to the music and particularly in their writing for the oboe. These various approaches demonstrate the potential of this medium; its artistic and aesthetic range. Of the other three works, Finnissy’s two pieces present the oboe as a soloist with an ensemble accompaniment and Redgate’s Éperons for oboe and one percussionist offers a different approach to writing for the instrument in a chamber music setting. Since his time as a student at the Royal Academy of Music, Christopher Redgate has specialised in the performance of contemporary oboe music. This specialisation has inspired many composers to write for him and as a result he has given premiere performances of a great number of works. His performing career has taken him all over the world, working as a soloist and in many ensembles. His performances frequently include the use of electronics and especially of the laptop computer and for many years now he has been including improvisation as a significant part of his recitals. He has been active as a teacher both of oboe and in workshops for composers. He broadcasts regularly for BBC R3 and has several solo CDs available. He has recently contributed three articles to an edition of Contemporary Music Review, is working on a book on the interpretation of contemporary oboe music and contributing a chapter in a new book on the music of Michael Finnissy.

MARIN GOLEMINOV - Compositions

MARIN GOLEMINOV - Compositions
ID: GD129
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Subcollection: String instruments

The release is dedicated to the 90th anniversary of Academician Marin Goleminov, the classic of Bulgarian school of composing. It contains four works among which the String Quartet No 3 "Old-Bulgarian" has been a repertoire work for decades now. Written in the 1940s, it is conceptually related to some of his most famous opuses like the dance drama Nestinarka (The Fire-Dancer) and Symphonic Variations on a Theme by Dobri Hristov. The String Quartet No. 7 is from the 70s and bears the marks of Goleminov's evolution of style. The two concert pieces are from the 80s and were inspired by the art of flutist Simeon Shterev and oboist Georgi Zhelyazov. They demonstrate the virtuoso command of compositional and technique devices, of the orchestral writing, Goleminov's ability to refract elements of the aleatoric and sonata, polyphonic and post-realist music through his outstanding individuality.

Johann Friedrich Fasch - Sonatas for Oboe

Johann Friedrich Fasch - Sonatas for Oboe
ID: CP030
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: Baroque
Subcollection: Oboe

Johann Friedrich Fasch is primarily known to modern audiences through a few trumpet pieces that have served for weddings and other assertions of respectability like public television programs. But, as with his somewhat older contemporary Telemann, he left a great deal of music, and it may be that he has been underestimated simply because performers haven't known where to begin with it. This 1987 disc of oboe and bassoon music from the former East Germany, with performers working from manuscripts held in the Saxon State Library in Dresden (Fasch's longtime residence), reveals a composer whose music blended old and new. The overall mood is a bit less free and easy than with Telemann, and there's a facility of contrapuntal writing, erupting at times into full-fledged fugues, which can make you think you're listening to Bach. But Fasch's emphasis on melody points to the influence of Vivaldi, and some of the music even suggests Fasch as a forerunner of the Classical style. Sample the Sonata in F major for two oboes and two bassoons, without continuo (tracks 18-21) -- it's delightful from start to finish. Fasch's part-writing, with the two bassoons gracefully filling the dual role of harmonic support and full member of the texture, is the height of elegance. And the slightly dancelike, pastoral mood of the work tells us that the divertimenti and Feldparthien of the mid century were not far away; indeed it wouldn't be a surprise if music like this turned out to have been known by the young Haydn. The performances are technically confident and perfectly attuned to Fasch's slightly sober idiom, but those new to historical instruments should note that the Baroque oboe, even more so than other early instruments, takes some getting used to. The situation is not helped by the Communist-era sound, which puts the emphasis on all the wrong places (including the group breathtaking at the beginning of each movement), but this is nevertheless a worthwhile disc for Baroque collections.

PicCollage - McKimm, Dorff, Delanoff, Vivaldi
ID: TAL90002
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Subcollection: Flute

Dem kleinen Piccolo, dem spitzbübischen, funkensprühenden Instrument, widmet sich diese breitgefächerte Werkauswahl von zeitgenössischen und barocken Werken. Gudrun Hinze, Piccoloflötistin des Gewandhausorchesters zu Leipzig und international renommierte Meisterin ihres Instruments, legt auf ihrer zweiten Solo-CD gemeinsam mit Kollegen des Gewandhaus- und des MDR-Sinfonieorchesters und dem Pianisten Markus Zugehör gleich drei Weltersteinspielungen vor.

Besonders farbenreich ist das Konzert des Australiers Barry McKimm: Piccolo, Harfe und Bodhran bestimmen hier mit keltischen Charakter den Großteil der CD. Ergänzend zart und filigran wirken die Sonatine de Giverny und das Virtuosenstück "Flash!" von Daniel Dorff, von kleinasiatischer Folklore inspiriert das Trio "Noble Tafelmusik" von Robert Delanoff. Das Konzert a-Moll von Antonio Vivaldi schließlich rundet in gestochener Virtuosität die Einspielung ab.
