Three Oboe Concertos Main Performer or Conductor: Iona Brown Accompaniment/Orchestra: Academy of St. Martin-in-the-fields Soloists: Heinz Holliger Instrumentation: Oboe Orchestra Oboe d'amore Individual Works: Concerto in F for Oboe, strings and continuo, BWV 1053 Concerto in D minor for Oboe, strings and continuo, BWV 1055 Concerto in A for Oboe d'Amore, strings and continuo, BWV 1059 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: Philips Catalog Number: 412 851-2 Year Released/Recorded: May 1982 Comments: Eugene Herron said: This CD would be a bargain at twice the price. To listen to the Harpsichord versions of these works is like looking at a black and white sketch-albiet a master work. To make them into Oboe works gives them color and depth and to me more life. There is contained in the jewel case a bit of explanation by Heinz Holliger about how these works were made, what choices and decisions were taken to achieve what ends, and why. If I had any regrets, it would be that there aren't more transcriptions of the Harpsichord concertos made for Oboe.
