G F Telemann was an excellent composer of music for Recorder. It is said that if you can play every piece that Telemann wrote for Recorder , you've mastered the Recorder. He also , as most of us are aware, composed an excellent piece for Soprano Oboe in A ( Oboe d'amore) and probably other pieces as well but I've listened to only one. The two original Flute parts in this U-tube recording could possibly be two Alto Recorder parts.

There's quite a bit of Telemann music for alto recorder, oboe, (+/- violin) and continuo. I'm in a baroque ensemble of this configuration. Because of the timbre/volume, it works best with a period instrument, though. I will often drone out the recorder if I use the modern. Lots of lovely duets .... someday I hope to be able to duet with another oboe. Oboes seem to be a rare species out here and I don't really get to duet on modern oboe, let alone baroque. I'll have to just record myself as well!

In the Schirmer book 'Solos for the English Horn Player' there's a movement of a Telemann treble recorder (or flute) sonata which is a good one to play.
Bach, Vivaldi and Telemann are my favourite Baroque composers.

Hi Chris, I can certainly agree with you. How about adding Albinoni to that list ? Vivaldi's Oboe Concertos are excellent but he's a lot more difficult to play whereas Albinoni had a complete understanding of the Oboe , Vivaldi seems to have had difficultly getting Violin writing out of his head when composing for the Oboe hence his Oboe concertos are more exhausting to perform whereas Albinoni gives the Oboist lots of practical places to breathe.
I've performed Albinoni's Oboe Concertos Number 6 op 7 in D and Number 3 op 7 in Bb. For me, much easier to play and very enjoyable to perform.
But all the Oboe Concertos of Albinoni and Vivaldi are excellent and are easy listening. I have friends who are not 'into' the music of 'yestercenturies' but they like the Oboe music of these Baroque composers.
