“about Music“ with Brian. Sundowner Programme 30 – More Easy Listening Oboe Concertos.

Today I have four more oboe concertos for us, to allow us to become really familiar with the sound of the oboe.

Vivaldi, Antonio Oboe Concerto in A minor, RV 461 10’00”
A sparkling Baroque concerto with Vivaldi’s trademark rhythmic vitality and lyrical slow movement. An elegant and uplifting opener.

Haydn, Joseph (attrib.) Oboe Concerto in C major 12’00” Classical elegance and melodic charm, offering a poised contrast to Vivaldi’s baroque textures. Graceful and finely balanced.

Bellini, Vincenzo Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra in E-flat major 8’00” Essentially a bel canto aria for the oboe; lyrical, romantic, and expressive, showcasing the instrument’s singing tone.

Jacob, Gordon Oboe Concerto 15’00” A 20th-century work with a light English pastoral character — witty, tuneful, and warmly scored. A fresh and optimistic finale.
