Following on after the death of Frans Brüggen in August 2014, the decision was taken by the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century to continue touring the world, and inviting various guest conductors who have known and worked with the ensemble over many years, such as Daniel Reuss, Jonathan Darlington and Andrea Marcon, and indeed Kenneth Montgomery, who directs the orchestral pieces on this brand new recording for Glossa. Additionally, the orchestra often performs without conductor – and most of its members have been involved musically with each other for decades.

The first recorded result of the new post-Brüggen era is this Mozart CD with a programme centred on the oboe, which has been devised by the longstanding orchestra member, Frank de Bruine. Mozart has been central to the Orchestra’s musicmaking and the composer made many friends with wind players – including oboists – and wrote abundantly for them. De Bruine is himself the soloist in the C major Oboe Concerto (the original version of the Flute Concerto, KV 314) and is present in two chamber pieces, the F major Oboe Quartet, KV 370 and the D major Divertimento, KV 251 as well as the concert aria, “Vorrei spiegarvi, oh Dio!”, KV 418 which involves soprano Dutch Lenneke Ruiten.

This new chapter in the recorded history of the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century is provided with an essay by scholar Clemens Romijn.
