Info for Céline Moinet: Oboe Recital

Céline Moinet begins her collaboration with harmonia mundi with a veritable tour de force, combining in a single programme two repertories separated by more than two centuries. Hence Johann Sebastian and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach resonate with the 20th century of Benjamin Britten, Luciano Berio and Elliott Carter, in a project that combines exceptional musical coherence with gentle sonority, reminding us of the ‘tenderness’ with which Berlioz identified the oboe.

In the orchestra, the oboe gives the tuning A on account of the richness of its harmonics and its stability, but it is also a solo instrument in its own right.
