Re: Any opinion on this Alex Klein CD ?

Thanks so much for your detailed replies Graham and Oboeblank. It's perhaps wise for me to wait a bit. Who knows, I may find a second-hand copy of that CD in the future.

Where music of the XXth century is concerned, I must say I'm hugely fond of film music (hence my pseudo). I would like to recommend a recent film score: John Williams' MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA. This subtle work enhances Yo Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman as well as shakuhachi as main soloists but I noticed numerous oboe solos in the foreground too. The featured musician is alas not credited in the inlay of the CD. Could be John Ellis, the oboe player employed for instance on ANGELA'S ASHES, another Williams score with haunting oboe parts. I shall also mention STEPMOM and its beautiful guitar and oboe soli.

Anyone also interested in film music on this board ? Over the years, I've gathered thousands of tracks for oboe from this medium and believe me, there are a lot of gems among them.

Laurent
