And also listen to Klein with CSO and Boulez conducting the Firebird suite. I watched the performance on DVD and was astonished by how he moved when he plays. Very interesting thing to watch a legend play ei? I recently got my hands on a really good recording, legendary Neil Black playing the Mozart C with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. There were slight alterations in interpretation and to me it is a really unique performance when compared to others i have before. My all time favourite would be the Concertgebouw with Kondrashin conducting Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade. The wind playing is exquisite and almost perfect, especially the oboe solos. And another recent recording would be Esa Pekka Salonen conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra, Stravinsky's La Sacre Du Printemps, or better known as Rite Of Spring. For those who havent experienced this brutal and colorful piece, go for this recording, the wind playing and the oboe playing in particular will blow you away. There doesn't seem to be any recording in my collection which means more among others, they all take a place in my heart and are all highly recommendable. =)
Other recommendations (YOU MUST LISTEN TO THE OBOE SECTION!) from my collection:
Boulez, Mahler 3rd - Vienna Philharmonic
Solti, Hansel and Gretel by Humperdinck - Vienna Philharmonic
Bernstein, Mahler 6th - Concertgebouw
Karajan, Mahler 5th - Berlin Philharmonic
Bloomstedt, Strauss Alpine Symphony - San Francisco Symphony
Diana Doherty(oboe), works by Koehne - Sydney Symphony
Heinz Holliger (oboe), baroque concertos - I Musica
Schumann works, Alfred Bendel (piano)
Berio Sequenza 7
Allan Vogel (oboe), Schumann romances
Hansjorg Schellenberger (oboe), Bellini, Strauss, Mozart - Berlin Philharmonic
Ray Still in Reiner/Chicago symphony old recordings, particularly Strauss's Symphony Domestica.
Han De Vries (oboe) and Jacques Zoon (flute), pieces for oboe and flute and orchestra, and Vries's other solo recordings. (there is one incredible one published by oboe classics.)
I want to look for Leleux recordings but it is difficult to get them here. Longing for that day! Too many good recordings to suggest, but this are some which i will always be happy to pop into the cd player at any one time.
