Heinz Holliger: Johann Sebastian Bach - Concertos and Sinfonias for Oboe - Ich hatte viel Bekummernis
by C. Michael Bailey
Heinz Holliger is to the oboe what James Galway and Jean Pierre Rampal are to the flute, or Dennis Brain to the horn: the standard by which all else is compared.

by Dan McClenaghan
