Christmas Concert - When the Oboe Conquered Europe

Description

When the oboe conquered Europe King Louis XIV loved splendor and ceremony, science, art, and above all music. To have these ready for all occasions and tasks, he organized the players at the court of Versailles into separate sections. And as French influence spread throughout Europe, it soon became fashionable for every monarch who considered himself important to hire a dozen oboists in this style. What might that have sounded like? The ensemble from Basel revives the splendor of these ceremonies in their program and takes us on a journey through the courts of Europe, from Versailles through Nuremberg and Rastatt to London... Students from the classes of Baroque oboe, bassoon, and historical percussion at Schola Cantorum Basiliensis Antoine Torunczyk, oboe and conductor
