Tesori d'Italia

Description

Albrecht Mayer returns with a brand new album aimed at both connoisseurs and lovers of baroque music. Besides the famous 'Concerto for Strings and Oboe in C Major, RV 450' by Vivaldi, the album includes a selection of lesser-known works and world premiere recordings all in one album. Passionate about the vast repertoire of his instrument, Mayer embarks on a quest for the buried treasures of Italian baroque. After exciting long research in numerous libraries and archives across Europe, Albrecht sheds light on music that has never been recorded before from the Italian baroque repertoire and the early classical period. On this fascinating musical journey, Albrecht can count on an iconic Italian baroque ensemble: I Musici di Roma, with whom he will perform on stage during a German tour in December 2017. Albrecht Mayer is one of the most recognized oboists of his generation. He combines his role as principal oboe of the Berliner Philharmoniker with that of his extraordinary solo career. He has played under the direction of many conductors such as Sir Simon Rattle, Claudio Abbado, and Nikolaus Harnoncourt, and with the best orchestras in the world like the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and the Berliner Philharmoniker.
