Bach's second Brandenburg concerto is a classic of Baroque beauty, as is Telemann's wonderful A-minor concerto. These pieces are a joy for oboists to play, and this book/CD pack is a valuable instructional tool. The book includes a high-quality printed music score. The compact disk contains two tracks of each piece: a complete performance with soloist; then a second version with the orchestral accompaniment, minus the soloist. The accompaniment tracks are perfect either for individualized practice or performance backup.

Performed by Harry Sargous, oboe

Accompaniment: Stuttgart Festival Orchestra

Conductor: Emil Kahn
