Re: "Oblivion" by Astor Piazzola

Bart Schneemann's recording of 'Oblivion' is on Channel Classics (CCS 18598). The disc is called 'It takes two' and his version is just for oboe and bandoneon.

Oboist Louise Pellerin and bandoneon player Daniel Binelli recorded with an orchestral accompaniment under the Decca label (I think). It was the Montreal Symphony Orchestra under Charles Dutoit.

Finally, another version I know was recorded quite recently by oboist Diana Doherty with strings in her album 'Souvenirs' under ABC Classics.

They are all beautiful recordings! I actually played Oblivion on my wedding dinner night; me on oboe and the wife on piano. (this is one night you do not want to worry about reeds!)
