Grammy Award-winner Alex Klein, former principal oboist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, performs sonatas that signify the oboe's 20th-century reemergence as a brilliant solo instrument. One of the world's most famous oboe players, Klein says he waited to acquire a professional lifetime's worth of experience before putting his stamp on the six sonatas heard here. With pianist Phillip Bush, Klein plays works that he says "define the modern oboe": Camille Saint-Saëns' jovial, late-Romantic Sonata for Oboe and Piano, Op. 166; York Bowen's lushly beautiful Sonata for Oboe and Pianoforte, Op. 85; Henri Dutilleux's emotionally wide-ranging Sonata for Oboe and Piano; Petr Eben's youthful, inventive Oboe Sonata, Op.1; Francis Poulenc's late, philosophical Sonata for Oboe and Piano, FP 185; and Eugène Bozza's Sonata for Oboe and Piano, an ethereal, rarely heard tour de force. Klein possesses a "tone so unique and beautiful that musicians from around the globe would flock to [Chicago's] Symphony Center to hear him play" (Chicago Magazine). He won a Grammy Award in 2002 for Best Instrumental Solo Performance (with Orchestra) for his recording of Richard Strauss's oboe concerto with conductor Daniel Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
