One of the world's most famous oboe players, Klein says he waited to acquire a professional lifetime's worth of experience before putting his stamp on the six sonatas heard here. With pianist Phillip Bush, Klein plays works that he says \"define the modern oboe\": Camille Saint-Sans' jovial, late-Romantic Sonata for Oboe and Piano, Op. 166; York Bowen's lushly beautiful Sonata for Oboe and Pianoforte, Op. 85; Henri Dutilleux's emotionally wide-ranging Sonata for Oboe and Piano; Petr Eben's youthful, inventive Oboe Sonata, Op.1; Francis Poulenc's late, philosophical Sonata for Oboe and Piano, FP 185; and Eugne Bozza's Sonata for Oboe and Piano, an ethereal, rarely heard tour de force. Klein possesses a \"tone so unique and beautiful that musicians from around the globe would flock to [Chicago's] Symphony Center to hear him play\" (Chicago Magazine). He won a Grammy Award in 2002 for Best Instrumental Solo Performance (with Orchestra) for his recording of Richard Strauss's oboe concerto with conductor Daniel Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42312063123531,"sku":"CED186.2","price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/3905628_e229515d-f5f9-4f6d-b5ca-38148fc6fcb3.jpg?v=1775746041","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/saint-saens-klein-bush-20th-century-oboe-sonatas-music-cd-735131918626","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
