CD Reviews

A standard for any oboe player
philistine | San Diego, California USA | 10/14/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"John Mack is definitely one of the pillars of the oboe playing world. His playing and teaching alike draw much praise. This CD is no expception. During his career, Mack has put out many definitive and emulated performances, and this CD contains many of the pieces standard in the oboe repetoire. In fact, some of these pieces are rarely recorded and can only be found on this CD. The Schumann Romances are beautifully done with excellent tone and phrasing, the Saint-Saens is wonderful and Mack's interpretation has become the standard for this sonata, the Hindemith is playful and quirky, and the Poulenc is pretty and well executed(though I prefer the Leleux interpretation). The little French pieces are pretty and a nice addition, though not that exciting. My one gripe is with the engineering which makes things sound a bit unbalanced and hollow at times. Nevertheless, the CD is very well done."

"John Mack is amazing! He brings out both the melancholy and humor in the oboe. His interpretations are so very convincing."
