Gorgeous. We are currently rehearsing this and were told this story of its origin. Corporal John de Lancie principal oboist of Pittsburgh found himself in Strauss's neighbourhood of the time during the second world war. After a long conversation, who knows in which language, John asked Strauss whether he had ever considered composing an oboe concerto. He had not and was not considering the thought. A few years later, however, this was born. John didn't get to premiere the work, but did later record it.

Recordings of John de Lancie teaching a masterclass are available from the original video producer. One of his lessons he shared the importance of keeping the oboe at an angle pointed down. When you raise the oboe bell up it alters the sound and muffles it. He also wasn't that keen on hearing vibrato. He said that European teaching gave every note vibrato and you should really pick the climax of the piece to accentuate. Remember music is a conversation and has a story to tell. You don't share it all at the same exuberance. There are whispers, secrets, questions and answers. That is what keeps it interesting. Most of the greats will share that tip too. He also said European teaching was changing violin playing which used to be an art where downward arm strokes brought low notes and moving up brought high notes to now being whatever the violinist wanted their hand to do. The performance art of seeing the music visually be represented by the violists movement (with being able to read the playing by watching the violinists elbows) was a part of the visual art of the concert lost by the European training, deLancie lamented. He also was not a fan of improv unless the conductor told you to, he said to play the music as written. You owe that to the composer. Where you take your breath can alter the sound enough or what note you choose to accentuate as those things were not typically marked out. deLancie also instructed students who slouched to play with their back against the wall to improve their posture and what did he always drill? Your wind is the bow and you put your notes on the wind. His teacher was Marcel Tabuteau who is known as the founder of the American style of oboe playing. He said Tabuteau was very strict in teaching, took any mistake on your part as a personal attack on him, and having him as a teacher made you strong as steel.

There are many very fine oboists out there but surely Heinz, Albrecht and Francois are the greats for this century. For Francois I love the free and delicate way he plays this otherwise germanic piece.

I have written before,Mr.Leleux is not the only oboist who can play soloconsert. To day some young players on KZbin are better after my taste. Exp.2 new recordings of V Williams is fantastic!

And maybe they could play from the coda passage 24.03 without all those unnecessary, and unwritten, swells, bulges, accents and that awful crash at the final tempo change. Ho hum.
