The fingering I mentioned is an alternate fingering for dire needs when the standard C# is not possible. Research the topic and you may find many alternate fingerings for very special times for many notes. It is a classic and known.
I first heard this as a teenager when we were given tickets to hear The Sacramento Symphony perform. To my extreme pleasure, we were treated to this masterpiece with guest artist Han de Vries performing. We were both somewhat younger then. I was captivated. Listening to this for the first time in many years brought back many happy memories.
And in case anyone was wondering: yes, the oboist John de Lancie was the father of the actor John de Lancie, best known for his role as "Q" in Star Trek: The Next Generation. :-)
Just got a call yesterday to play the accompaniment for a recital next week. When I heard the oboist was playing Strauss I cringed, sucked in a sharp breath through clenched teeth, and hesitantly said yes. Now I am listening to this for the first time ever. I haven't played through the accompaniment yet, but "it doesn't look so bad" ... (famous last words!). First movement only. Anyway, delighted to discover a new-to-me work by a beloved composer. Can't wait to dig in.
it's just a chromatic scale, what's difficult of this particular concerto is that you need to do circular breathing or manage to breath quickly between phrases. It is a very tiring concerto.
An exquisite performance of this lovely Strauss masterpiece. Harding keeps the accompanyment in excellent balance. Even in his final years, Strauss still had his wonderful compositional magic.
SuperHabp if you want, you can play baroque concertos for 2 flute or 2 violin or 2 oboe with flute and oboe, in baroque the instruments were almost interchangeable
My God, I found the first concert I heard in the palace of fine arts here in Mexico, I loved that day, they also played some symphony but I don't remember which one.
Woaah! I was blown away. I've heard at least two dozen interpretations of this concerto and my favorite oboists were Lothar Koch and Heinz Holliger. But now, I have thee favorites. The finesse, beauty and mastery of Leleux's phrasing are astounding. (Also love the orchestra and conductor, and the soloist/orchestra balance!)
@@anthonyumbro5427 He can do circular breathing, but when I met him he said that he doesn't use it in this piece. He is just really good at holding long phrases. Also you can clearly hear when he takes breaths in this recording.
The oboe also uses very little air to blow compared to other wind instruments which is why they can seemingly play so long. Sometimes we have to exhale air and inhale afterwards to get rid of stale air. But yes, circular breathing makes everything better.
This story comes from Fred Child of Performance Today. An American intelligence analyst (who was also and oboist) came upon the house of Richard Strauss in the closing days of WWII. He developed a relationship with Strauss. Later, he had the audacity to ask Strauss to write an oboe concerto. This is the result. See more here: www.classicfm.com/composers/strauss/guides/oboe-concerto/
Agreed! I want the Marigaux 920 Altu Noir :) A magnificent work of art. And Leleux's interpretation is fantastic - right up there with Stefan Schilli's.
exquisito, un sonido que se oye hasta la percusión de las llaves en el instrumento. Tal vez un poco más de sentimiento en el fraseo pero magnífica interpretación, enhorabuena
I assume you mean something like circular breathing? I personally prefer to play it without, as the phrases can get very long and static without little breaks, but that's just my opinion. I've seen it done with both and it all sounds great!
The man who commissioned it was an American oboist (an intelligence officer end of WWII) so seems highly likely to me - given RS’ Mozartian wit and genius Something exquisitely tender and neo baroque about this startlingly modern work
grande esecuzione.suono splendidosolo la prima cadenza per me è troppo nervosa dal punto di vista musicale ma grande tecnica intonazione impeccabile.Grande Leleux
At the beginning of the piece it looks so easy. Even though I don't play oboe, if I started playing oboe itll be hard for me to play. But it's easy for me to play that beginning piece on flute.
Trying to remember the name, but one time an oboist playing this collapsed on stage and dies a few hours later in the hospital, I believe from an aneurysm
Technically speaking, this concerto can be completely playable on the French horn; just need to play the oboe part an octave lower, and voilà! You have a new piece to the horn repertoire.
Listen to the oboist for whom this was written: JOHN DELANCIE, or to Richard Woodhams, both solo oboists of The Philadelphia Orchestra. Discover how it was intended to be played Z
Can we just talk about how smooth those runs sounded despite the c sharp fingering though
R index finger only= C# , for emergencies
Nancy S thank you, you have just changed my life
Sorry I'm confused. You play C# with the little finger of the right hand (between the C key and the E flat key)
The fingering I mentioned is an alternate fingering for dire needs when the standard C# is not possible. Research the topic and you may find many alternate fingerings for very special times for many notes. It is a classic and known.
Human Trash literally thinking that trying to finger as I go along and I physically can’t do it

who is "we"? You mention "we" *three* times with no clarity. Why would you write in such a lazy fashion?

A week's notice! I would be freaking out! How did it go?
16:31 I couldn't imagine trying to play that. Or you know, almost the entire piece.
Practice those chromatic scales o/ That section is a descending chromatic.
it's just a chromatic scale, what's difficult of this particular concerto is that you need to do circular breathing or manage to breath quickly between phrases. It is a very tiring concerto.
Honestly, it's almost playable if a horn was the soloist. Just put everything an octave lower, and voilà!
This is the hardest backup orchestra music I've ever seen.....I'm a violinist playing this and my god

It really is stunning. So so so challenging to play! Love it.
This concerto makes me wish I knew of one that has both an oboe and flute player as soloists all throughout.
I know there's a concerto for flute and oboe that was composed by Salieri, but I'm not sure of any others.
SuperHabp if you want, you can play baroque concertos for 2 flute or 2 violin or 2 oboe with flute and oboe, in baroque the instruments were almost interchangeable
otherwise those are a few of original ones

Look for "W.F. Bach Duets for Flute and Oboe". Great stuff.
@@superhabp2577 It is excellent!

PN Houle Heinz Holliger is my favourite😄 I play oboe
I love this concerto soooo much
Like at 18:17
8:24
I love it too. It's a shame there aren't more concertos written for oboe. :D
From 17:30
If you are looking for more oboe repertoire there have been quite a few awesome new works written for Diana Doherty over the last 20 years.
I think Strauss forgot that oboists have to breathe! lol
yeah how does he do it?
@@anthonyumbro5427 He can do circular breathing, but when I met him he said that he doesn't use it in this piece. He is just really good at holding long phrases. Also you can clearly hear when he takes breaths in this recording.
Is common to do circular breathing playing this piece.

😂
I mean, I can play the rests...
The rests can be the hardest part! 😭
@@alexstuckytrue
The 64th notes at 16:34 were amazing!
Wish he would write a flute concerto as well:-)))
Love this oboe concerto so dearly
S M : It’s a little late.
@@georgelocke9523 "Wish he had written" is what SM intended to say, one supposes.
I hate it when ads interrupt this masterpiece
Me: Oh yeah I’m pretty good at oboe
My band director: play this then
Me:Okay sure
Me: Squeaks so hard the windows break

Exquisite performance of autumnal Strauss. ev.
Crazy...Unbelievable performance...Nice Leleux
Excellent moment musical de paix et de détente. Merci pour ce partage.
This is a VERY good interpretstion. I love rhe musical choices on the whole. I thinkni need to re-approach this concerto and try some things out.
The ad lib at the end of part 2 kills me every time. Its soooo good
Ah- the rare and impossible 64th note- every musician’s nightmare, as no man has survived an attempt, the oboist in this piece died shortly after.
D-dur の澄み渡る響き、たまりませんね。
I absolutely love his rendition of specially the first mov.
World class ! Brilliantly played and performed. Wonderful !
il secondo movimento è un capolavoro.
grazie per l'aggiunta
14:25…
One of the most transcendental moments in classica music history… feel like seeing the huge red sun setting on the horizon quietly.

nice to only see the oboe part . It reinforces just how tough this piece is in terms of stamina!
23:58~end is a treasure..out of this world
Gorgeous
Superb performance! And ahhhh, that incomparably gorgeous, creamy Marigaux sound!
Weihan Xingqi I want one so bad
Agreed! I want the Marigaux 920 Altu Noir :) A magnificent work of art. And Leleux's interpretation is fantastic - right up there with Stefan Schilli's.
My fingers hurt looking at this
La pub en plein milieu de la cadence du second mouvement c'est un scandale
exquisito, un sonido que se oye hasta la percusión de las llaves en el instrumento. Tal vez un poco más de sentimiento en el fraseo pero magnífica interpretación, enhorabuena
what a difficult piece.
Bravissimo 👏
This looks like if hardness level were ability to live, it'll walk out of my backpack and kill me in my sleep. Either way, I want to play it.
Aaaawesoooooome 😍
Debussy soul brother for this one ...
13:40 - Interesting harmonic twist.
Interesting how Strauss writes 2:03 compared to 6:26!
MASTER!!!!!

i am 58, 30 years exp on oboe (among other ww's ), just starting to work on this piece now, & wondering WHY i am even trying :/ 🙆🙋♂😗😕
Felicidad, paz alegria
I can't imagine how this would sound on a French horn. Oh well, let's try it! See you in a few years!
Do I have to use loop ventilation for this piece?
I assume you mean something like circular breathing? I personally prefer to play it without, as the phrases can get very long and static without little breaks, but that's just my opinion. I've seen it done with both and it all sounds great!
You must find out about “circular breathing”
I may be crazy, but I thought I heard a little tiny bit of “America the Beautiful” in the second movement
The man who commissioned it was an American oboist (an intelligence officer end of WWII) so seems highly likely to me - given RS’ Mozartian wit and genius
Something exquisitely tender and neo baroque about this startlingly modern work
François Leleux ❤ Le plus grand hautboïste de son époque.
If I didn't play violin, I think I would want to play viola or oboe
grande esecuzione.suono splendidosolo la prima cadenza per me è troppo nervosa dal punto di vista musicale ma grande tecnica intonazione impeccabile.Grande Leleux
cosa intendete con"nervosa"?
ventiletor95 intendo frettolosa,Ma è soltanto un punto di vista personale senza nulla togliere al grande oboista

At the beginning of the piece it looks so easy. Even though I don't play oboe, if I started playing oboe itll be hard for me to play. But it's easy for me to play that beginning piece on flute.
I wish I had my oboe again. Stupidly sold it for a mandolin. 😢
Hautbois!
Trying to remember the name, but one time an oboist playing this collapsed on stage and dies a few hours later in the hospital, I believe from an aneurysm
Zachary Coronado : William Bennett in 2013, while performing with the San Francisco Symphony, the orchestra of which he was principal oboist.
