This video features a benchmark performance of the work, revealing the full richness of the English horn's timbre. This instrument, a close relative of the oboe, has a more melancholic, warm, and rich sound, ideally suited to the lyrical style of Donizetti, best known for his operas. Soloist: Legendary Swiss oboist and conductor Heinz Holliger (English horn). Holliger is considered one of the greatest reed woodwind performers of the 20th and 21st centuries. His interpretations are distinguished by a filigree technique and profound musicality. Conductor: Peter Maag. Orchestra: Bamberg Symphony Orchestra (Germany), renowned for its rich and distinctive sound. Gaetano Donizetti (1797–1848) wrote this Concertino (short concerto) in 1817, long before his worldwide fame as an opera composer (The Elixir of Love, Lucia di Lammermoor). The work consists of three movements, performed without a break (attacca): This Concertino is a fine example of early Romanticism and a must-have for all connoisseurs of the oboe, English horn, and Donizetti's music.
