The essence of Bach depicted by Heinz Holliger, a treasure of the oboe.
Heinz Holliger, one of the greatest oboists of our time, performs with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields under the baton of Iona Brown on this elegant and gorgeous Baroque album, including a restored version of Bach's Harpsichord Concerto.
This masterpiece, by a master of the oboe world, spanning from Baroque to contemporary music, brings out the melodic beauty of Bach's works to the fullest. The masterpieces, known as harpsichord concertos, are reproduced for the oboe and oboe d'amore for which they were originally intended. The dynamism and prayerful lyricism that Bach imbued his scores are evident. This album remains a timeless brilliance, standing as one of the pinnacles of Baroque performance on modern instruments, setting it apart from early music performance techniques.
