We can’t be sure that Bach wrote any concertos specifically for the oboe aside from the C minor concerto BWV1060 – in which it’s partnered by the violin in an exercise of pathos out of all proportion to the modest dimensions of the work itself. The other concertos here come down to us as harpsichord concertos, in which guise they do not sit entirely happily, and it seems more than likely that Bach, as both unhappy Kapellmeister of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig and far more content in his role supplying music, musicians and concerts to Zimmermann’s coffee house in the city, would have been glad to take advantage of the soloistic potential of a resident oboist to craft these Italianate concertos that exploit both the instrument’s origins in pastoral idiom (notably BWV1053, in the ‘pastoral’ key of F major, and its gently swaying siciliano middle movement in 6/8), as well as more urbane and learned counterpoint of which he was undisputed master among his peers.
Andrius Puskingis is a Lithuanian oboist, now resident in France, who returns to his home city to play and direct these spirited and intimate performances. At present he is the principal oboist with the Heidelburg Symphony Orchestra, who have made an acclaimed series of Haydn symphony recordings with their music director Thomas Fey, and something of Fey’s restless spirit of adventure can also be traced in these fine new recordings.

Classical music isn't exclusive to professional musicians or music aficionados; it's for everyone. It can create a state of mind, stimulate creativity, and infuse beauty and art into our daily lives.

As a long-time Bach listener (since teen years, and age 68 right now), just discovering these beautiful, wonderful pieces is bringing me new pleasure and joy. Thanks to these inspired performers and to Brilliant Classics.

Бах - настоящий волшебник. Со временем надоедают произведения многих композиторов, если их часто слушаешь. С музыкой Баха наоборот, чем больше слушаешь, тем больше получаешь наслаждение. Этот композитор говорит языком Вселенной, раскрывает её тайны.

Something about oboes is soothing to the soul.
-
I love the Oboe and Bach. So discovering these pieces is like finding Gold. Thank you. I must now add this CD to my collection.
-
Perfect music for an early Sunday morning. And now, it's time to brew some coffee.
-
It's impossible to lose one's sense of wonder at Bach's creativity, his enormous output, the perfection of his work, and overwhelmingly, the beauteous world of sound that he has left us .... especially in these marvellous concertos
-
This rids any depressing thoughts I may have, it temporarily puts me in a different world, a "dream world" so to speak. I wish we had more composers like J S Bach.
-
This pushes all the nonsense that we are bombarded with daily right out of my head!! Thank God for some relief in the beauty of this wonderful music!
-
the voice of the oboe...as smooth and silky as velvet, and each note so clear and sweet. A fine tone this woodwind beauty sure has! And don't forget her cousin, the cor anglais.
-
I cannot imagine a life without Bach, Mozart, Stamitz...
-
Oboe concerto music makes me feel like I am in heaven and Angels are above me playing on Oboes.
-
The sound of the oboe is like a dream
-
Excellent integral of reconstructed oboe concertos by Bach. During the first part of his career, Bach had to compose so many orderings in unmanageable delays that he was forced to reuse or transcribe exiting music, but this was always on purpose and technically insuperable. these reconstructed concertos bring this clear evidence to our ears and minds. :thanksdoc::thanksdoc::thanksdoc::thanksdoc::thanksdoc:

some of the most beautiful music ever
-
As a one time Classical singer and clarinettist, I used to like the oboe the least in the woodwind section, until I discovered that accompanied by the harpsichord the oboe sounds absolutely stunning...I'm hooked on the Baroque oboe concertos'! Bach is awesome as always, but I'm discovering others too ❤️ ❤️
-
Now THIS is music!!!! I love it to pieces.
-
This oboe set of Bach concertos gives us the feeling of being at different heavenly levels, only a genial compositor like Bach has this privilege. The composition and the fantastic oboe sound is really a glorious music of God. Viva Bach, and his beautiful, sentimental, harmonious and enjoyable music that is unique in the world. Congratulations to the orchestra and oboe outstanding interpretation .

Bach‘ s music is immortalized forever, and dazzling eternal, and off the charts
-
I never knew that music can produce such intense joy
