 Re: significant or beloved oboe recordings

I've just read one of the old threads entitled 'Regarding Alex Klein'. It appears he has developed Musician's Focal Dystonia, a condition which causes messages from the brain to fail to reach the fingers accurately. In consequence, the simplest of scales, or passages, can become impossible to play. Sadly, if the thread is correct, Alex has felt compelled to resign his position as Principal Oboe with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. This is such a great shame for him and the rest of us who are denied his very great talent. I work with a flautist who has this condition, also, but less advanced, and is still able, with some changes in approach, to play and hold on to the job. However, a friend of a friend, who is an oboist, has the condition at such an advanced stage that she was forced to resign her job in Germany. The thread states that Alex is taking it slowly and cutting back on all commitments in order to try and tackle the condition, in the hope of one day regaining his full oboistic powers. I, for one, wish him all the luck in the world, and hope he experiences a full recovery.
There is a CD of his, of Krommer oboe concertos, which showcases him at the height of his powers. This would be a great addition to ones CD collection.
Just in case I have it all wrong, could someone write to confirm, one way or the other, if this information is correct.
Many thanks

James
