DXII. MARCELLO, Alessandro: Concerto #5 in B-Flat Major for Two Oboes

DXII. MARCELLO, Alessandro (1673-1747)

Concerto #5 in B-Flat Major for Two Oboes
1. Moderato
2. Larghetto staccato
3. Presto, ma non molto
Heinz Holliger, oboe
Louise Pellerin, oboe
Camerata Bern
(6:50)



Born in Venice to a noble family, Marcello was free to compose music without worrying about getting paid.

The influence of both Albinoni and Vivaldi is evident.

The Presto is particularly brilliant both oboes dancing and fluttering above a simple string accompaniment.
