Strauss Oboe Concerto // Francois Leleux and Aurora Orchestra
Experience one of the world’s greatest oboists, François Leleux, playing Strauss’s joyful, singing Oboe Concerto at the 2016 BBC Proms.
Richard Strauss - Oboe Concerto in D major
François Leleux - oboe
Nicholas Collon - conductor
“A spry and lucid account of Strauss’s superabundantly lyrical Oboe Concerto” ★★★★★ The Guardian
“Soloist François Leleux, so articulate in his onstage interview, made his case even more persuasively with his instrument. From the opening entry, an aria by any other name, to the saucy little dance that sets the final movement swaying, Leleux seemed scarcely to draw breath, pouring out sounds by turns witty, forthright and fragile, but always beautiful. A performance of utmost generosity - a homage from one master musician to another.” ★★★★ Independent
Filmed live at the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday 31 July 2016.

There are many very fine oboists out there but surely Heinz, Albrecht and Francois are the greats for this century. For Francois I love the free and delicate way he plays this otherwise germanic piece.
It's too easy for him.
Leleux has such a great tone. I love this piece.
Gorgeous. We are currently rehearsing this and were told this story of its origin. Corporal John de Lancie principal oboist of Pittsburgh found himself in Strauss's neighbourhood of the time during the second world war. After a long conversation, who knows in which language, John asked Strauss whether he had ever considered composing an oboe concerto. He had not and was not considering the thought. A few years later, however, this was born. John didn't get to premiere the work, but did later record it.
I have written before,Mr.Leleux is not the only oboist who can play soloconsert. To day some young players on KZread are better after my taste. Exp.2 new recordings of V Williams is fantastic!
Poor Mr. Strauss !
Thank you Murakami
It's a beautiful song. It's joinig the stilness with harmony in the Peace to thrust the Inner Harmony of everyone listen it.
