Stephan Schilli became solo oboist with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra at the age of only 20. Here he presents three masterpieces of the oboe repertoire. All three composers wrote their concertos within 10 years (1945-1955) but all are examples of very different traditions and styles.

Bernd Alois Zimmermann: Oboe Concerto
I. Homage to Stravinsky
II. Rhapsody

“All three works are superbly played here by the brilliantly nimble Stefan Schilli, and Mariss Jansons and the Bavarian orchestra give him vivid support. I cannot think of a more enticing triptych of modern oboe concertos from any other source.”
