Soon
The Best of Classical Work for Oboe and Piano

Sebastian Roth (Piano) and Alexander Dafov (Oboe) present this upcoming EP.

The idea of the chamber music program we toured with throughout Bulgaria and Germany is to show our audience rare work and to show how adaptations for different instruments open new perspectives on the interpretations and the musical experience. We recorded the cd in the chamber music hall “Bulgaria” in Sofia.

You'll be able to hear some samples soon.



 01 // W.A. Mozart, Oboenquartett F-Dur, KV 370, Rondo (Allegro) // 04:50

Summary
The compositions presented here are partly adaptations of original work, which offer a greater range for interpretations to be enjoyed by the performers and the audience as well. One good example is W. A. Mozart's Quartett for String Trio and Oboe, F major adapted for Oboe and piano.

Similar is the case with the "Allegro" from the Trio Sonata for Organ, C Major by J.S. Bach. It is a very complex Kontrapunkt composition. All three parts, in this case the left and right hand and the feet are playing against one another in a completely autonomous way. The adaptation for Oboe and Piano tcreates a puzzling effect, like to look in a kaleidoscope.

A. Pasculli, a Paganini on the Oboe for his time, wrote virtuoso compositions where he use famous opera parts and staged himself as an Oboe acrobat on stage in Italy around 1900. We play here his "Fantasia", an adaptation of the Opera "Poliuto" by G. Donizetti.

After World War 2 F. Poulenc and later on E. Bozza created a specific sound vision for both instruments (Oboe and Piano), which used to be handled mostly as solo instruments. They treated them as a chamber ensemble, each in his own way.

Disregarding the sequence of the movements Poulenc mixed traditional styles. Bozza incorporated Jazz. The result is impressionist chamber music.
