Martinů Festtage

At this year's Martinů festive season, star oboist Albrecht Mayer will be exploring the works of Bohuslav Martinů in depth for the first time - a scandal, really, so late in the day, as the Czech composer wrote perhaps the most famous oboe concerto of the 20th century! Now it will soon be on the repertoire list of the renowned principal oboist of the Berliner Philharmoniker.
Albrecht Mayer's first steps in this direction led him to Martinů's oboe quartets. Together with his Swiss musician friends, he presents a chamber music programme with virtuosic, captivating major works from the oboe literature of his French contemporary and «Chansonniers» Francis Poulenc.
In addition, Albrecht Mayer will present another work by Miloslav Kabeláč, who was celebrated almost frenetically by the audience at the Martinů Festival 2022, in order to help this composer out of the great shadow of his Czech compatriot Martinů and to draw attention to the new Kabeláč CD series.
