Oboist

Handel's glorious music for a lavish barge expedition on the River Thames and one of Bach's most treasured orchestral compositions create the pillars that surround a pair of imaginative works by Telemann: an Oboe Concerto that begins with a stupefying introduction and a sweetly sensitive musical characterization of "The Ingenious Gentleman Sir Quixote of La Mancha."
