CD Reviews

This is great oboe performance!

rodboomboom | Dearborn, Michigan United States | 01/26/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As an aspiring oboeist, I purchased a collection of oboe cds, and this is the favorite. Done with force and style, these concertos originally thought for cello and harpsicord were for oboe as well. Holliger and the Academy of St.Martin give us an excellent recording which we will feast on for many enjoyable moments."

Crisp, sweet artistry

Simon Zaleski | 03/24/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"While an afictionado of recordings by Baroque orchestras using period instruments, and a harpsichordist and gambist and recorder player myself, Holliger's recording with the Academy of SMF is truly wonderful. His tone is always steady and nuanced; the orchestra has a very warm and pleasing sound as well.

The recording of the oboe d'amore concerto was what led me to the disc, and it didn't disappoint me. It is such a lovely piece, and Holliger's phrasing and nuance is perfect in this as well as the other two concertos.

I wonder how he plays the third mvt. of the d minor concerto...he must be using circular breathing! It sounds impressive. I highly recommend this disc, one of my favorite Bach recordings and probably my favorite that uses modern instruments."

The work of a true virtuoso

philistine | San Diego, California USA | 08/17/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Heinz Holliger is truly one of the few oboists in the world who can be considered a virtuoso. His mastery of the instrument and extreme control over difficult passages is no less that amazing. He makes everything sound easy. Many people have criticized his tone; however, I think it is still a good sound. I prefer a darker, richer sound of the American school, but this Swiss is still doing a great job in the tone department. In this recording, Holliger simply blows you away with his technical mastery and smooth phrasing. These virtuosic Bach concertos are very difficult yet pose no problem for him. Truly a great recording of these beautiful concertos. The oboe d'amore concerto is a nice addition as well."
