About
From 1840, the instrument builder Guillaume Triébert and his sons developed the French style oboe, an instrument distinguished from the German instruments by its brighter sound. After Theobald Böhm invented his key mechanism for the flute, it was French builders, once again, who applied the system to the oboe. The Lorée firm’s ‘Conservatoire’ model oboe, which appeared on the market in 1880, is essentially the same as the instrument in use today.
The music on this disc, with pieces by three Frenchmen and two composers who spent lengthy periods in Paris, demonstrates how the expressive qualities of the oboe and its capabilities and limits were taken up in the compositions of various streams of French music in the 20th century.
In 1999, the oboist Pauline Oostenrijk received the Music Prize of the Netherlands, the highest State Award in classical music. Before that, she had already won a number of national and international prizes, including the first prize in the Gillet oboe competition in Baltimore which resulted in a recital in Carnegie Hall.
