Telemann / Harold Gomberg, 1965: Sonata for Oboe and Continuo in C Minor - Igor Kipnis, Cembalo

Harold Gomberg (November 30, 1916 - September 7, 1985) was the principal (first or solo) oboist of the New York Philharmonic from 1943 through 1977. Born in Malden, Massachusetts, Harold and his brother Ralph studied with Marcel Tabuteau, considered the father of American oboe playing, at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Prior to joining the New York Philharmonic, Gomberg held positions with the National Symphony Orchestra, the Toronto Symphony and the St. Louis Symphony. He was a longtime member of the faculty of the Juilliard School, and recorded several albums of solo oboe repertoire during his long and very distinguished career.

Outstanding!! Lovely melodies created from the whole cloth of Telemann's lines. Every movement seems to be played through different lenses. The Andante and Grave are bluesy -- Telemann sounding like modern jazz. Cool. This group of musicians features outstanding ensemble players. Thank you for an integrated sound!!

Lyrische und wunderschöne Interpretation dieser perfekt komponierten Sonate in verschiedenen Tempi mit etwas traurigem Ton der genialen Oboe und zurückgehaltenem Klang des ebenso genialen Cembalos. Einfach wunderbar!
