  • Description

    Music lovers all over the world appreciate the unique sound of Viennese strings. However, there is another special sound - that of the Viennese oboe. Sebastian Breit, principal oboist of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, puts his instrument in the spotlight on an album released by Supreme Music. These are discoveries from the 'golden era' of the Viennese oboe. These rarities charmingly demonstrate why the Viennese oboe is 'different from the others'. All of the pieces were written specifically for the Viennese oboe at the time of their creation. They are compositions penned by Alexander Wunderer (1877-1955), himself an oboist with the Vienna Philharmonic, Hans Gal (1890-1987) and Karl Pilss (1902-1979). Listening to these pieces, interpreted with great dedication, one becomes aware of how significant the instrument has been in shaping the much-praised Viennese sound.
