Free Music Review: Moving Recent Oboe Works For One of Its Brilliant
Hit: 5 Stars
Klein easily is one of the superb oboists of our time. Here he records the concertos of three modern composers, two of which were composed specifically for him in mind.
The first is of Czech descent, and the oldest of the trio having been composed in 1955. What strikes the listener is the inclusion of the piano as an accompanying soloist with the oboe, especiallly in the final two movements. As liner notes relate, extreme sense in this music of isolation. Outstanding oboe with its fast moving chromatic sections and the subtle, eiry power of that sustained tone in the final movement.
The Sydor piece came as a result of composer's education at Oberlin when Klein was teaching there, and so this was written for him emboldened by his native Poland in honor of the event which bears the piece's title. From composer's own liner notes we learn that it is battle between Poland societal elements with the oboe sounding individual common man seeking to save ideals. In this epic movement back and forth between soloist and orchestra there is some unique and evocative oboe sounds.
The third and final piece has become my favorite, with absorbing notes of the piece written by Klein. Yano of same Brazilian native land, was commissioned by Klein for this piece, but passed away from brain cancer in doing so, left to Yano's teacher and Klein to fill in. Magnificent lilty movement in the final.
Klein is heard here to be a clean, clear passionate artist on an extremely difficult instrument to play, but here evidenced as one of the best of our times playing this magnificent 20th C concertos.
Excellent choice to add to your listening enjoyment.
Twentieth Century Oboe Concertos Poster
Alex Klein presents world premiere recordings of two works written expressly for him: fellow Brazilian native Marco Aur??lio Yano's vibrant and exotic Oboe Concerto (1991) and Polish composer Pawel Sydor's dramatic "Virtuti Militari" (1992), a musical fable of individual heroism under social repression. Completing the program is a cornerstone of twentieth-century oboe repertoire, Bohuslav Martinu's 1955 Concerto: a thoroughly distinctive, neoclassical delight.Classical Music CDs
