{"product_id":"xenia-loffler_bachs-oboe-cd_2025_disco-virgin-music-group","title":"Bach's Oboe","description":"Johann Sebastian Bach certainly knew the sound of the oboe in his early childhood thanks to his father Ambrosius, who was employed as a bagpiper in Eisenach. The fact that the composer recognized and appreciated the expressive power of the oboe from a very young age is evident in many of his early compositions, cantatas, and concertos. Unfortunately, among the surviving works, there are neither solo sonatas nor trios with oboe, even though it can be assumed that there must have been some. The present CD on ACCENT fills this gap with a series of extremely skillful arrangements and reconstructions of chamber music and also presents, with Xenia Loffler, the ideal cast for this project. The principal oboist of the famous original sound ensemble Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin performs two sonatas for flute with obbligato harpsichord on her instrument, one of which (BWV 1030b) was probably originally intended for the oboe. The two trio sonatas for organ trio with oboe, violin or viola da gamba, and basso continuo give rise to a whole range of new musical colors from the original works. Finally, the three chorale preludes and a chaconne, which - in different chamber music contexts - make the original organ works shine with wonderful timbres, are also very special. Once again, it becomes clear that Xenia Loffler embodies with her playing something like the ideal sound of the baroque oboe: a concentrated, yet appropriately expansive sound with rich nuances, as well as an always infallible lyrical feeling, complemented by an almost prodigious eloquence. It is no wonder that she was crowned \"Queen of the Baroque Oboe\" by BR-Klassik.","brand":"Xenia Loffler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57520999596376,"sku":null,"price":20250117.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/4015023244061.jpg?v=1781572142","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/xenia-loffler_bachs-oboe-cd_2025_disco-virgin-music-group","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
