5.0 out of 5 stars Heinz is the Best, November 7, 2000
By Kevin Lim (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the best recording of Bach's 3 Oboe Concertoes I have heard to date. I have sampled several different recordings and they don't come close to the combination of recording quality and performance quality. Heinz' version, I feel is the most energetic and delicate (depending on which piece you're listening to) expression of Bach's work. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who is keen on Bach's works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bach-3 oboe concertos, March 27, 2000
By A Customer
This is a wonderful recording of the oboe concertos of Bach, with Heinz Holliger giving a wonderful performance with his full, rich German sound and his incredible fingers and wonderful styling. Academy of St. Martin in the Fields provides wonderful accompaniment under the direction of Iona Brown. I highly suggest adding this to your current music collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crisp, sweet artistry, March 24, 2005
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.
