Ralph Vaughan Williams: Oboe Concerto | Turku Philharmonic Orchestra

[@brynjarhoff-lr6hw]

This is after my taste the best oboeplayer I have listend to on KZbin. Because of his sound,very few players in the world plays like that. I know one more….Thanks to the soloist!!!

[@pablov1973]

Amazing performance of this superb masterwork by Vaughan Williams.

[@margotd8190]

Marvelous sound for the oboe player. Some players get so shrill on this piece, and I love that he has such a round, lovely sound. Beautiful performance all around

[@williamdonahue6617]

What beautiful musicianship! The whole orchestra-- and especially Mr Takashima-- knock it straight through the clouds.

[@takuyatakashima]

Thank you very much!

[@janeloveday6113]

I really love this piece and indeed most of Vaughan Williams work. The oboe has such a mellifluous and tender tone which makes it quite beautiful to hear

[@grady876876]

Just simply superb musicianship. Such a talented orchestra. Bravo Mr. Takashima.

A WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE OF ONE THE GREAT 20TH CENTURY OBOE CONCERTOS.

[@paullilliott7565]

Brilliant! What a genius VW was! I can also recommend the concerto for 2 pianos (Russian Phil) and Symphony 5 (Andrew Davis) - all on KZbin. We are so lucky to have these wonderful performances available - thanks to all who made it possible!

[@jacquesboes7042]

Congratulations for this wonderful prestation of Ralf Vaughan William's oboe concerto.

[@andrewthompson7526]

Fabulous performance from the Soloist, beautifully supported by a very fine orchestra. I love the full rounded sound of the Oboist who demonstrates wonderful dynamic variation and control. Vaughan Williams is very much entrenched in British music so it’s lovely to hear his beautiful music reaching far and wide.. Thank you to the Oboist you did a spectacular performance and you really got to what this Concerto is all about which makes me wonder if you studied in England at some point. I’m utterly spellbound, truly spellbound. .

[@takuyatakashima]

Thank you very much Mr. Thompson! How lovely to read your comments!

[@MegaVicar]

My heartfelt thanks to this wonderful performance of my favorite Vaughan Williams‘ music for touching me so deeply From A corner of Tokyo of Japan

[@takuyatakashima]

[@stephanerigault5106]

Wonderful performance ! A lot of energy but also sweetness and heart. Congratulations Mr. Takashima.

[@oboist3]

Absolutely superb in all respects, what beautifully rendered oboe playing - this is how I will try and play in mjy next life.

[@xjdu5433]

bravo , excellent control

[@oldwest517]

You gotta love the oboe -- opening a box and choosing just the right reed for the task at hand... Reminds me of all those many years ago, when at music camp, the oboists and bassoonists had to take reed making classes while the rest of us were goofing off or something. I admired them for their dedication... Anyone have any idea how often this amazing piece actually gets play live by professional orchestras, worldwide? Great performance.

[@assumptacs197]

Demà la toca a Barcelona, Catalunya, Albrecht Mayer i l'Orquestra Camera Musicae. Em fa molta il·lusió sentir-los. I m'encanta aprendre-me-la a través de la interpretació del sr. Takashima i l'Orquestra de Turku. L'enhorabona!

[@charlestimberlake5522]

I was a clarinetist but had to make an oboe reed in a woowdwinds class. Mine looked like a disaster but "crowed" when I blew on it. The prof was very disappointed, as that fulfilled the assignment. He hoped that I would have to make another one. Thank God, I didn't, as reed-making is not easy to do.

[@casualobserver3145]

Thoroughly enjoyable!

[@raffikio]

Wow... superb playing takes your breath away......Wunderbar

[@takuyatakashima]

Thank you for your comment. It means a lots to me!

[@casualobserver3145]

[@antoinetteduplan2151]

Quelle maîtrise, quel souffle ! Fabuleux ,quel plaisir pour mes oreilles et pour tout mon être

[@oboist3]

Very beautiful playing - most impressed. The soloist and orchestra have totally captured the essence of this music, and really let the work expand and breathe.

[@bagaskorobyarsumirat8654]

[@joshstead-dorval9729]

His oboe is unrivaled by any other oboes

[@hernandezpiras4168]

I love this concert very much. It's one of my favorite pieces. A beautiful performance by the Turku Philharmonic and Mr. Takashima! The Regent's jovial enthusiasm is right and exhilarating!

[@Sindel1011]

13:09 has to be one of my favs 😍😍😍

[@chicolofi]

Este concerto é um dos mais belos já escritos para o oboé e deveria ser muito mais conhecido. E esta interpretação é simplesmente extraordinária!

[@hgwells2009]

One of the few times I've heard the oboist "sing" through his instrument. Such talent! Beautiful!

[@稲垣憲治-h5k]

とても素晴らしい演奏。聴き惚れました。ありがとうございます。

[@danielhowe7362]

I love the question asked at the end of the wonderful Rondo!

[@zierotin]

Da die Kommentarfunktion für das 2. Violoncellokonzert von Penderetzky geperrt ist: Bravo Bravissimo for Maestro Roi Ruottinen!!! und großes Lob an seine Kollegen und Leif Segerstam, den ich in den 80er Jahren als Jungspund im RSO Wien erleben durfte. Ebenso Bravo Bravissimo an Takuya Takashima, der zu den besten Oboisten zählt, die ich erleben durfte!!! Danke an mein Lieblingsorchester für die vielen schönen Mitschnitte!

[@robertosorio5290]

Exelente oboista!!!

[@chicolofi]

[@ruthgehres5696]

I love Vaughan Williams but had never heard this piece before. It's truly beautiful. I've always been a fan of the oboe . . . now, with this, even more. Thank you for sharing it.

[@takuyatakashima]

Thank you very much Ruth, so lovely to hear!
