Here is the consummate oboeist, Holliger, playing the richness of late Baroque concerto for oboe.

Holliger aptly serves these compositions with his senitive phrasing and tone. Backed ably by unidentified strings and continuo, the selections from Marcello, Sammartini, Albiononi, Lotti and Cimarosa are marvelous.

This is monumental collection and performance of oboe concertos of this period. Especially fond of Allegro from Albinoni's Concerto in G minor and Affettuoso from Lotti's Cocerto in A.

I love Holliger's playing. Although an advocate of period instruments and Baroque orchestras, and a gambist, harpsichordist, and recorder player myself, Holliger's recordings are wonderful and I recommend this disc and his recording "3 Oboe Concertos" of Bach very highly.

He plays with a good, flexible tone and plenty of nuance. The orchestra sounds great. I only gave the disc 4 instead of 5 starts because not all the rep is exceptional. but there are some good works on here, and I believe an oboe d'amore concerto which is lovely.

Bought this one for the "disturbingly modern" sounds of Marcello's Oboe Concerto in D, but the rest of it is a great deal of fun, too. Get this disc to prove to yourself that the oboe is one of the more expressive instruments in the orchestra's repertoire, and that it laughs and cries along with you as it takes you along on its magical journey.

The famous oboist Heinz Holliger and the legendary musical ensemble recorded for the posterity one of the most pyramidal musical documents in the second half of the past Century.

There's no any flaw. Every single bar is perfect. Holliger dominates not only the variegated tonal possibilities of the instrument, but he gives to each score the expected degree of expressiveness and feverish lyricism.

My dear reader. By any circumstance you should miss this album, filled of extraordinary tresures.

J'ai voulu de posseder ce CD longtemps. Enfin je le trouvé. Il est un plaisir d'écouter cet enregistrement. La musique est comme une eau courante. Quand j'écoute cette musique, j' oublie tous les choses désagréables autour de moi. J'adore le concert de Marcello. Il me fait de me sentir comme dans les contes.
