Lyrical Beauty of this Singing Concerto Instrument Displayed, Feb 12 2005

This review is from: Oboe Concertos Mozart Goossens Martinu (Audio CD)
King certainly is becoming one of the prominent oboe virtuosos around. Having heard her in concert accompanied by an orchestra, I can testify to the power and beauty of her playing. She plays passionately, decisively and stylistically. Her tone is clear, pure and strong, shaded by tones of depth and richness. Her technique is exquisite and she excels on difficult fast tonguing and fingering.Here she performs four prominent and difficult concertos from the instrument's repoitoire: Mozart's in C, Goosens One Movement, Vaughan Williams for Oboe/Strings in A minor and Martinu's for Oboe/Small Orchestra.
Most would be somewhat familiar with the Mozart and possibly Vaughan Williams, which Ambrose King pulls off with great moving pizzaz. The difficult second movement in the Mozart she seems to gracefully handle all the technical challenges, with what seems like the effortless singing style that a polished vocalist achieves.
My favorite however has become the Martinu piece which she here reintroduces. The energy and dynamic grace she performs this piece with is brilliant. The final movement, a poco allegro is my favorite, with its polka rythm and bravura.
Interesting that the Goosens piece composed by the famous oboist's brother was based on the warmup exercises he heard his brother playing before performing.
Great recording with Swerling and Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra providing excellent support and flavoring.

This CD may have been recorded in the Czech Republic, but Nancy Ambrose King is an American oboist who plays in the American style with a pure, rich, expressive, evocative, full tonality. Most recordings are done by European oboists, who often sound like ducks or have a high, whiny sound (French oboists). Ms. King picked excellent pieces to record and the Janacek Philharmonic backed her up quite ably. As her sound is gorgeous, and her playing technique is near-flawless, listening to this well-recorded CD is a joy. She has an excellent website, [...]
