Albrecht Mayer plays Bach: Air and other pieces exclusively on the oboe d'amore and English horn

Experience oboe superstar Albrecht Mayer playing Bach’s Air from the Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D Major, arranged for English horn and piano. Albrecht Mayer created this and other arrangements exclusively for this very special concert at Palais Lichtenau in Potsdam, Germany. Because Albrecht Mayer has a special relationship to Bach's music, the oboist has deliberately chosen compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach. Accompanied by his chamber music partner, Japanese pianist Kimiko Imani, Albrecht Mayer also plays the English horn on the bass aria "Mache dich mein Herze rein" from the St. Matthew Passion. The duo also perform the Trio Sonata No. 4 in E minor, BWV 528, II. Andante, and the tenor aria No.7 from the Easter Oratorio, with Albrecht Mayer on the oboe d'amore.
In addition to the unique instrumentation, this concert is unusual because it was performed without an audience. DW Classical Music is offering a digital stage for some of the many classical music artists who are currently unable to perform for live audiences. The recordings are made by the artists themselves or by a single camera operator. Usually Albrecht Mayer plays in front of thousands. But in these times of the coronavirus crisis, star oboist Albrecht Mayer was very happy to accept our invitation to perform this private concert.
Albrecht Mayer has appeared as a soloist with such eminent conductors as Claudio Abbado, Sir Simon Rattle and Nikolaus Harnoncourt. He made his Carnegie Hall debut in 2007 with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, and is an enthusiastic chamber musician, playing with partners including Hélène Grimaud, Leif Ove Andsnes and Lars Vogt. He started playing with the Berliner Philharmoniker in 1992, and has remained with them since, despite his growing renown as a concert soloist.
Albrecht Mayer plays an oboe d’amore and an English horn by German maker Gebrüder Mönnig.
(00:00) Johann Sebastian Bach: Trio Sonata No. 4 in E minor, BWV 528, II. Andante
(05:30) Johann Sebastian Bach: Easter Oratorio, BWV 249, No. 7 Aria for Tenor "Sanfte soll mein Todeskummer"
(13:17) Johann Sebastian Bach: St. Matthew Passion, BWV 244, No. 65 Aria for Bass (Mache dich, mein Herze, rein)

The oboe is as always magnificent, but the piano part in the second piece is so peaceful and mesmerising.

[@er34-]

The piano gives a perfect talented surface for the play

[@pilotmike67]

Stunningly beautiful, masterfully played and wonderful for the soul. Thank you both for sharing your talents and artistry. Albrecht, I am a long-time amateur orchestral horn player, but every time I hear you play or watch and listen to a Berlin Phil video with you on oboe it makes me want to switch to the double reeds.

[@orlandopimentel4459]

Outstanding performance, as always, by two terrific artists!

[@xuanlocslocum9549]

The oboe reaches the deepest part of me every time

Meu Deus, que sonoridade perfeita. Me arrepiei toda. Captação de som e acústica maravilhosas! Interpretação nem se fala.

[@lilianemagnin1347]

Un grand moment. Merci, Monsieur Albrecht.

[@martynawrobel3466]

There is something relaxing and peaceful in your playing Mr. Albrecht... Listening to something like this makes me feel sentimental. In a few days I will play my final exam, my diploma in music school, and then give up oboe probably for ever. Hearing this, cheers me up a bit, because even though I chose a different path than playing oboe in my future, thanks to videos like this, a small part of a beautiful sound of this instrument will always remind me that I was able to make astonishing music like that once. Thank you for this performance! Greetings from oboist from Poland ❤️

[@baciulaurentiu9426]

You are God of oboe Thank yoy

[@creativityandlove8456]

I thank you so much... bach will always be my favourite genius composer and whenever I feel the need for relaxation and meditation I listen to bach.
