“It is simply a badge of historical injustice that oboists must wear”. Leon Goosens lamented the generally accepted view that the 19th century was a time of crisis in the history of the oboe. The prejudice that the oboe has been forgotten, as it is incompatible with the aesthetics of romantic expression, has been passed down through the generations. This recording brings to light some impressive compositions from the France of the early 19th century, and thus makes it possible to re-evaluate this generally widespread view. All works are first recordings and belong to a great treasure of unknown chamber music for oboe and fortepiano of the 19th century. They bear witness to a lively, dynamic wind tradition in France. Played on a French oboe with ten keys by Guillaume Adler (Paris, c. 1835) and a pianoforte by Erard (Paris, 1840), these soulful and lyrical rarities wonderfully bring out the unique timbres and playing characteristics of these rare original models.
