Handel: Oboe Concerto No. 3 in G minor, HWV 287 (with Score)

[@jamestough8468]

I like this tempo on the Allegro, it is moderate as others can be quite quick.

Good piece, and played very well! Favorite parts:
0:42 - beautiful circle of fifths progression
1:59
3:16 - stunning opening
4:14
4:46

Exquisite. The age of the oboe.

This could be a stupid question, but why is the key signature in d min? Was it written that way?

[@henryng0725]

It’s common to write minor keys in a Dorian way, i.e. a key signature with one flat less in Handel’s era, like in Bach’s French Suite no.2 it is written with a key signature of 2 flats instead of 3 flats.

Who is the oboist?

[@miguelykaris7869]

I think it could be perhaps Holliger....

[@xavierguimond3092]

@miguelykaris7869 It's my guess too. But to be sure. It's always better when the guy puts it in the video though...

[@phillipvillani9061]

@@miguelykaris7869 Definitely sounds like Holliger, he is an amazing player and phenomenal musician, but his sound is an acquired taste

@xavierguimond3092 Estoy completamente de acuerdo con esta idea.
