Dear Jryanaus
many thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye open for Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra recordings. It doesn't surprise me that he studied with Lothar Koch, I can really sense a sort of cross-over style in his playing. I'll also keep a lookout for Bourge's Schumann CD. He gave a masterclass last year at the RSAMD in Glasgow, where I teach. He's definitely lost none of his energy, even after several heart attacks. As regards the Nick Daniel CD, I think it's one of his very best. Certainly, he makes a wonderful tone on this recording. He's coming up to do a concerto with my orchestra in March 2005, but it'll all be a blur, as I'll be playing the cor solo from Schostakovich 8 at about the same time.
Judging by your e-mail, are you from Australia? If so, you probably know Diana Doherty, Principal Oboe with the Sidney Symphony Orchestra. I was in the same oboe class with her in Germany, studying with Thomas Indermuhle. She's not only a sensational oboist, but one of the nicest people you could hope to meet. Send her my best if you are in contact with her.
I've not heard much Alex Klein, but I hear he's a phenomal player, and I'll definitely keep my eye open for his new Martinu CD. Thanks once again for your input.
Regards
James
