Variation two piú vivace is my favorite followed by variation 6 vivace.

The ads in the middle of the piece are a nice touch…

What instrument is that at the beginning? It doesn't sound like an oboe at all

[@andreasslateffPersonalChannel]

It's so sad, that people nowadays do not know, how an oboe really had to sound 50-150 years ago, when most of that music was composed! Here's the sound of a Viennese oboe (basically a modified historic German oboe): Bright, rich in overtones, and leggiero. The player on oboe 1 is Karl Mayrhofer, who also was especially famous for "his" sound.

Esatto è l'oboe viennese.

Where are women in this orchestra? 1973? In some orchestras that situation lasted since 2005…

[@Nyssa337]

Vienna Philharmonic accepted women as permanent members beginning in 1997.

[@RichardFeinman-yf7lx]

It is a sign of progress that these all-boy bands actually look funny.

[@jmciuri]

@@Nyssa337 Yes, two or three women were allowed to be politically correct, but women did not have equal opportunities until 2005.

[@theexcaliburone5933]

@@jmciuriin Europe women still often don’t have equal opportunities in classical music, the US is actually better in that regard (that regard being the blind audition process)

[@helcioj.tagliolatto3214]

And what would be the importance of this in the interpretative quality of this recording?
