Did you miss the Faculty Chamber Series concert featuring Professor of Oboe Alex Klein and other great musicians from Oberlin's faculty? You did? Well, cheer up.
WKSU, northeast Ohio's award-winning NPR news and classical music public radio station, will broadcast the performance, which was recorded live in Warner Concert Hall on September 15, 2007, on In Performance Sunday, October 14, 2007, at 4:30 p.m.
The program is a double-reed celebration, with Klein, joined by Associate Professor of Harpsichord Webb Wiggins and guest artist Catalina Guevara Klein, performing Giuseppe Sammartini's Sonata in G Major, Op. 13, No. 4 for Baroque Oboe and Continuo. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Quartet for Classical Oboe and Strings follows, with Klein on oboe; Professor of Violin Marilyn McDonald on violin, Professor of Viola Peter Slowik on viola, and Steuart Pincombe '09 on cello. Guest artist Rita Costanzi played the harp to Klein's English horn for Antonino Pasculli's Homage à Bellini for English Horn and Harp. The radio broadcast will conclude with Robert Schumann's Fantasy Pieces, Op. 73, for Clarinet (oboe d'amore) and Piano, featuring Klein on oboe d'amore with pianist Peter Takács, Professor of Piano.
