albrecht mayer est sans nul doute le meilleur hautboiste allemand.un pur trésor que ces transcriptions de haendel qui apportent du bien à l'ame et au coeur.
Albrecht Mayer ist zweifellos der beste Oboist auf dem Planeten. Er ist ein absolutes Genie für die Idee, diese schönen Stücke und Aufzeichnen von ihnen, so kann er seine Magie an ihnen arbeiten. Ich bin ein Vollblut-Klarinettist und ich muss diese Stücke so finde ich sie für meinen eigenen Gebrauch umschreiben. Und vielleicht spielen sie auf der Oboe eines Tages als ich neue Liebe für Instrumente
What a gift! Since the very first note, there is a sensation of entering a magical realm only music can bestow. A performance which transmits the best of their souls and hearts, exquisite sounds of each instrument. Congratulations
Qué instrumento fabuloso el Oboe. Es el que más me conmueve, y ejecutado por Albrecht Mayer.Es maravilloso, sobre todo interpretando a Haendel, o Telemann. Es un placer.
I am just glad that we have these videos - so future music historians can know just how simply badass these instruments can be played. The bar is set high - this is simply astounding in every way. Thank you, Albrecht!
I wonder if it turned out as heavenly at the concert as at the rehearsal. Something amazing. How much inspiration you need to create something like this. Bravo Mr. Handel and Mr. Mayer.
I just absolutley love this! Albrecht Mayer is most fantastic!. the Oboe, Oboe D'Amore, English Horn and blessedly beautiful instruments. The Basson is great too. I'm a Clarinet player and i long to just even play a single note on the Oboe.
I am an oboist and today I tried an oboe d'amore for the first time... Mayer's sound is SO much better you wouldn't even know they were the same instrument :)
oboe is such a beautiful instrument when played well.. people who think it sounds like a dieing duck should hear this. its actually much more beautiful than violin
Two things. Beginning oboists sound terrible largely because commercially-available reeds are wretched; even a professional would sound crappy on them. Yes, beginners also lack the embouchure to get the most out of any reed, but a good reed goes SUCH A long way on the oboe. Regarding the oboe's reputation as a horrible, nasal, duck of a woodwind, I blame Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf. For so many children, this is the first oboe they'll here, and it's a very poor representation of what the instrument is capable of. You may as well have the clarinet play nothing below high G. Kids would think all clarinets were screechy and piercing, not realizing how smooth, dark, and mellow the tessitura (can that term be applied to non-vocal instruments?) can be. The bassoon actually receives similar treatment. Grandfather is gruff and low, but sang with such a plaintive tenor in his younger days.
@@calderwishne9688 cool to remember this coment of mine! Almost a decade later and I still love the oboe. I've become a professional cellist, but someday I will still buy a good oboe and learn it.
his oboe in in the first song seems to be a full conservatory oboe along with his english horn i believe. the second song, he is playing the oboe d'amore, which has the bocal and maybe be full conservatory in addition to its obvious extra length
shnimmuc But also Handel must be played by a gifted musician to sound heavenly; Albrecht Meyer is supremely talented in this respect. Try listening to other musicians who play the oboe - the sound that they produce is rarely as silken and honeyed as his.
I do not know how this guy manages to produce such a beautiful sound from his oboe (D’Amore here or, - when he is playing the more usual oboe). It sounds like what I would imagine silk to sound like if it had a sound, Not an earthly sound, like the tearing of silk, no. This is other worldly- honeyed toned, glistening silk sound. So rare - but he has the gift of producing it. Yet for years I was wondering, “ Why all my friends talk about Albrecht Meyer?” Now, after studying the oboe a bit more, and listening to more of these hautbois people, yes, I get it. He is brilliant. And I will never be more than a dummy at the back of the class orchestra !
Handel is smiling - this is an example of perfect performance by the best in the world. I don't think Handel ever imagined it played like this in his wildest imagination!
OMG how beautiful! The oboe has always been my favorite high-pitched instrument, and you just don't see nearly enough music for oboe d'amore or english horn. THanks for posting!
@JStrange13 Totally agree, Mayer is perfection, I can only assume that the 6 people that didn't like it sit at home watching the x-factor thinking it's real music!!!!!!!
Is it any wonder why Beethoven said the following; "Handel was the greatest composer that ever lived. I would uncover my head, and kneel before his tomb." Well Beethoven may not have had the chance. But I do every time I visit his tomb at Westminster Abby.

@ericoschmitt I posted this on my facebook last year and one of my trumpet friends listened to this and he was like," holy shit!, thats what an Oboe is suppose to sound like?"
I find interesting that his sound seems a bit brighter than the typical German sound. There is nothing wrong with it, he has a great sound, but not as dark as say a Marigaux sound.
Hello, thank you for uploading these videos of spectacular Albrecht Mayer, I have 2 questions: who plays the oboe Mr. Mayer with head of ivory, is that brand?. or luthier wind does this work? The oboe d amore that touches on the documentary part 2 mark is that? Thank you very much
Albrecht Mayers Klangbild gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut. Der Zuhörer spürt die Klarheit, Weite und Offenheit des Klanges.

Die Reinheit einer Seele erkennt man am Besten in seiner Darbietung der Musik
Ringraziamo Dio per averci mandato Handel e i suoi vari esecutori 🙏❤✨🎇🌌🌞
Correcto !
Well done, wonderfull tune and great performance. While listening I could feel warmth and peace in my soul. Thanks a lot.
Maestro Mayer has excellent phrasing and superb musicality. Bravo!
This is perfection. So graceful. So swift. Pure joy.
Albecht Mayer,,,what a fantastic musician.I love the music he plays,each performance is like a masterpiece of art.
Just amazing ❤
Meravigliose Interpretazioni !!! ❤
I am just glad that we have these videos - so future music historians can know just how simply badass these instruments can be played. The bar is set high - this is simply astounding in every way. Thank you, Albrecht!
Mayer is a true master,amazing work....
This is the most beautiful music i've ever heard!
12 years!
SO PERFECT AND MOVING. THE IDEAL OF OBOE. And he is a nice person. Not easy to find in a good oboist
no words in the world can tell you about love that simply. goes straight to the heart ^^
I wonder if it turned out as heavenly at the concert as at the rehearsal. Something amazing. How much inspiration you need to create something like this. Bravo Mr. Handel and Mr. Mayer.
Amazing.....so beautiful, hopefully I can play like this someday!
amazing musician not only oboist but conductor
Merveilleux!
The man has the soul of a singer
He is brilliant,as always...and I have no words to explain my feelings while listening this greatest musician of the world!!!
Un bello dialogo musical excepcionalmente interpretado.
I just absolutley love this! Albrecht Mayer is most fantastic!. the Oboe, Oboe D'Amore, English Horn and blessedly beautiful instruments. The Basson is great too. I'm a Clarinet player and i long to just even play a single note on the Oboe.
wunderschön!
no me canso de verlo es magnifico que sonido, musicalidad toooooooodoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Un pur enchantement l'harmonisation des timbres instrumentaux la mélodie superbe Thanks for posting
This is one of the best piece I've ever heard in my life! Cheers from Brazil.
I am an oboist and today I tried an oboe d'amore for the first time... Mayer's sound is SO much better you wouldn't even know they were the same instrument :)
I wish I had an oboe d'amore. It's similar to an English horn but not quite as mellow and hollow sounding. Both are lovely.
Wunderschön! Danke herzlich für das schöne Video !
Albrecht: you are amazing and beautiful!
I just love the sound of the oboe.
albrecht mayer is a god. his love for the oboe and its music truly shines through when he plays.
Bravo!! Albrecht Mayer
알브레히트 마이어가 한말이 이런 말이 있더군요.
나는 오보이스트이지만 오보에만이 음악을 위한 수단이 아니다.
모든 음악은 궁극의 하나로 통한다.
공감합니다.!
Well done! An excellent performance from Albrecht Mayer, as always. And always wearing a stupendous sweater.
One listener commented that Albrecht should burn the sweater!
Meu Deus que som!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could listen this music again and again.
Beautiful índeed.
Una maravilla maravillosa. Gracias !!!
Heavenly, thank you
que bello lo amo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Breathtaking.
From low to high it goes the Heckelphone (Bass), baritone oboe (Baritone), english horn(Tenor), oboe d'amore(alto), and the oboe(soprano).
This was beautiful, it made me think of something else then the music. And that is a good thing.
OMG! that's so great, mild, I would be the guest violinist of Albrecht.
his oboe in in the first song seems to be a full conservatory oboe along with his english horn i believe. the second song, he is playing the oboe d'amore, which has the bocal and maybe be full conservatory in addition to its obvious extra length
This is heaven, My god Handel was gifted.

Wonderful. Handel must be smiling, I know I am.
Handel is smiling - this is an example of perfect performance by the best in the world. I don't think Handel ever imagined it played like this in his wildest imagination!
@@danmcglaun1 Don''t bet against Handel's imagination. :)
Si hay que agradecerle a Dios por música tan bella : Handel , oboe de amore
richtig schön mit gefühl.*_______*
so gut möchte ich auch spielen können.!;D
Magnifico
i never thought violin was even close to sounding as amazing as the aboe
4'47" - love the theorbo player munching away on chewing gum...
Immer Fantastisch!
I like the lute player chewing gum at 4:45 :-))
I thought all lute players chew gumm while playing, they teach you that at Julliard.
just wonderful!
OMG how beautiful! The oboe has always been my favorite high-pitched instrument, and you just don't see nearly enough music for oboe d'amore or english horn. THanks for posting!
Maravilhoso!!!! 👏 👏 👏
ah, "tornami a vagheggiar" sounds possibly more beautiful than in its vocal form!
Not if Amanda Forsythe is the soprano
I play the oboe; what you say is very true. Most people have only ever heard mediocre oboe-playing.
Handel i zvuk oboe d`amore~savrseno!
magnificent playing, inspired, words cannot describe
La calidad como oboísta y director de Albrecht Mayer más la excelencia de Sinfonia Varsovia en una de las genialidades de G. Händel.
Perfect! Lindo!!!
These are all transscriptions for oboe. f.e. 1. Largo from Sonata g-minor HWV 393 / watch the titles in the video.
This piece convinced me to play the oboe. No regrets.
The 7 people who disliked this don't have souls.
@JStrange13 Totally agree, Mayer is perfection, I can only assume that the 6 people that didn't like it sit at home watching the x-factor thinking it's real music!!!!!!!
wooooooow que bien un verdadero maestro =)
Bravo!
lo strumento piu bello al mondo l'oboe
I think it's just for decoration. He is the top artist for Buffet oboes and I am sure he can ask for whatever he wants.
me encantaaaaaa
Ascoltarti è come fare l'amore...Anzi se è mentre si fa l'amore è divino!
wow the bassoon is so lively too at the end XD
Tornami a vagheggiar 😍 oboe sounds like a sweet voice. It is was favorite's Handel instrument
magnifico
Is it any wonder why Beethoven said the following;
"Handel was the greatest composer that ever lived. I would uncover my head, and kneel before his tomb."
Well Beethoven may not have had the chance. But I do every time I visit his tomb at Westminster Abby.
Handel, Beethoven and Bach!!!
He never said that lmao
Very good
pure
Beautyful ❤️
Lovely violin accompaniment
Yes, but may be too "accompaniment"? I'd love a bit more life in violin too
Encantador!!

oye bambioboe... es dificil tocar el oboe? Me usta muchisimo ese video, toco violín pero me gustaría tmb tocar un poco oboe.
God I hope I get a ticket for this when he is in the US
@Mari94Air And very fortunate! You are right.
Oboe d'amore page on wikipedia states that it's the alto version, essentially, of the oboe family. Just sayin'
If you would like to hear this piece sung by the most incredible soprano, Amanda Forsythe backed up by Apollos Fire with Jeanne Sorel.
by all means call me ignorant but what is the second instrument he's playing, it looked like he cross bred a cor anglais and an oboe!
That's an oboe d'amore, which is basically that. It's like playing a little English horn, but definitely distinct enough to be its own instrument.
@@therealtornadosam LMAO damn a reply 12 years later. Thanks for the info though! I don't even play Oboe anymore but good to know.
I find interesting that his sound seems a bit brighter than the typical German sound. There is nothing wrong with it, he has a great sound, but not as dark as say a Marigaux sound.
I thought so, but what about the ring around the reed receiver?
Hello, thank you for uploading these videos of spectacular Albrecht Mayer, I have 2 questions:
who plays the oboe Mr. Mayer with head of ivory, is that brand?. or luthier wind does this work?
The oboe d amore that touches on the documentary part 2 mark is that?
Thank you very much
