Description:

Berlioz's Lost Oboe: Early French Romantic Music For Oboe And Piano is an album by Christopher & Olivia Sham Palameta, released in 2023. The album is a classical CD. - .. EARLY FRENCH ROMANTIC MUSIC FOR OBOE AND PIANO

'It is simply a badge of historical injustice that oboists must wear.' Such was the lament of Leon Goosens, echoing the commonly-held view that the nineteenth century was a time of crisis in the history of the oboe. Like a snowball effect, the idée reçue that the instrument fell into disuse because it was considered incompatible with the aesthetics of Romantic expression has been handed down across generations. This recording unearths a handful of evocative compositions from early nineteenth-century France to provide a reassessment of this commonly-held view. These works, all of which have never been recorded before, belong to a large corpus of neglected nineteenth-century chamber music for oboe and fortepiano, and bear witness to a lively, dynamic tradition of wind playing in France. Performed here on a ten-keyed French oboe by Guillaume Adler (Paris, c.1835) and a fortepiano by Erard (Paris, 1840), these sentimental and lyrical rarities beautifully highlight the unique timbres and playing characteristics of these rare original models.

Recorded 20?22 September 2021 at Craxton Studios, Hampstead, London, UK
