Benedetto Marcello, Oboe Concerto in C Minor

:

Maurice Andre on the trumpet, a cd in the car. The first movement, I believe especially is one of the most poignant pieces I've ever heard. As such I think it would be appropriate for September 11th. I had not realized it was originally composed for oboe until I heard it one morning streaming on WQXR while getting ready for work. My husband checked his computer to see what it was. I have been listening to WQXR for over 60 years!!!
