And the oboe soloist is Kurt Hausmann. Thanks Kurt, you are amaising ! you played a lote with my Dad all over the world and in Hamburg, Fritz Henker. Thanks
@leandrusi Really? Well that it's my opinion, I have sung all the alto parts from this mass(the Agnus Dei it's even harder) and are probably the hardest intonation pieces I have ever sung, and also i belive that the instrumentation can change a lot the performance of a particular piece,if you are a singer you can check diferent scores and see how the ones that are composed for heavy orchestration have less complicated vocals...of course there are exceptions like Wagner.
I believe that the problem here is not really the singer,Is the orchestration very big,the piece is very hard in the intonation part beacuse it has a huge amount of half tones and the musical phrases a terribly long,now if the singer also needs to fight with a huger orchestra it is almost imposible! this was composed with small instrumentation,for a medium volume voice and very intimate PRAYER feeling,definetively not Verdi's requiem
Fascinating how fashions change re:playing baroque music. This is played so 'romantically' with loads of vibrato, quite unlike the versions popular now with sparse orchestration/choir and less full sound. I have to confess I don't like her interpretation anyway - quite dull.
This Oboe Player is Kurt Housemann my father's tutuor in Germany in the 50's. my father has soooooooooooo much respect for him.
