Alfredo Bernardini returns with a program that unleashes the exponential power of the oboe
Oboe lovers, rejoice! The “sublime” (Gramophone) Italian oboist Alfredo Bernardini returns to our stage with a high-octane program devoted to the music of Bach and his contemporaries. This hand-picked selection includes a trio of works calling for triple oboe, a combination that yields a distinctive, alluring orchestral texture: Tafelmusik’s premiere performance of the Concerto in B-flat Major for three violins and three oboes by Telemann, the playfully inventive Suite in G Minor for three oboes by Fasch, and the celebrated Suite in D Major by Bach.
Listen for Bernardini’s “sparkling, communicative approach … the perfect synthesis of splendour and dance-like charisma” (Gramophone) in Handel’s Oboe Concerto in G Minor.Triple Espresso is our own lively, potent blend that’s bound to perk up your ears!
