It's my understanding that the 6 cantatas which comprise the Christmas Oratorio were originally played one per week during the Christmas season. That would be less of an endurance contest for the performers. Also, although I have not personally played the instrument, I believe that the baroque oboe was (and is) played with a reed requiring an embouchure more open and relaxed than what we do on our contemporary reeds and oboes. Those factors make the tasks set out by Bach far less onerous. However, it is truly worth the effort today!
