Re: Strauss Oboe Concerto

Hello everyone,

Thank you very much for your help. I've printed off your comments! As a matter of fact, I ran through the whole concerto with an accompanist today and apart from a couple of obvious sections in the 1st and 2nd movements, it is quite do-able stamina wise. It's a good thing the last movement isn't as tiring as the rest.

I got a ticket to the concert of the Strauss when Ogrintchouk played it at the Proms. I was in the back of the stalls, which wasn't the best view (I would have liked to have been closer!) but I felt that his sound carried very well. I really rather enjoyed it and met him at the stage door after the concert. I got his autograph which is definitely something to keep safe :-)

I too recorded it on a HDD recorder and have watched it a couple of times. I might just observe what he does in the rather difficult passages breathing wise.

How annoying with the Concertgebouw concert! I was getting so frustrated the way the camera was always on the conductor. I think the best shot I got of the players was a close up of the flautist and piccolo a couple of times...and the back of Ogrintchouk! Thank goodness you could actually see my face in the NYO concert.

Did anyone watch it?
