Double reed instruments—both sweet and spectacular—have been a part of music across classes and genres for centuries. Bring out the shawms, bombards, and Baroque hautboy, we’re exploring music for early oboes! From Hessian Stadpfeifer (German town pipers) to royal court oboe bands in England and France, oboes are front and center this hour. Some brasses, percussion, and bassoons will join in as well. Our featured release is Denis Delair: The Violin Sonatas, by Basel-based ensemble The Levée. Join us as we hear this world premiere recording of French Baroque works.
