Description:

The virtuosity of Wirmsen, Principal Oboe of the Deutsche Symphonie-Orchester Berlin! This is a collection of works for oboe and piano by Viola Wilmsen, principal oboist of the Deutsche Symphonieorchester Berlin, and Kimiko Konin, who has accompanied numerous oboe players including Maurice Burg. Viola Wirmsen's expressive voice is used to the fore in this selection, and she sings each piece as if it were a human voice. The works for voice, including "Jeneufa," are performed to bring out the functionality of the oboe to the utmost limit, and we hope that you will enjoy the sound of the oboe. Tokyo M-Plus
