Title: Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis Johann Sebastian Bach Heinz Holliger oboe Erich Höbarth violin, direction Camerata Bern A recording to delight all admirers of Bach and the baroque oboe and a wonderful account of Heinz Holliger's interpretive genius as a player: for many, he is the world's greatest oboist. Factor in the long-established relationship between the Camerata Bern and Holliger which permits a real group understanding, Erich Hobarth's exemplary violin, and superb ECM sound and we have here a special event. Holliger has recorded prolifically for the New Series, but this is his first disc for the label since the 1997 "Zelenka" album to address core classical repertoire, and these very popular pieces will find a broad public response.
