Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741)
Concerto in A minor for two oboes in A
minor, RV536 - Allegro
In the early 18th century, the teenage residents of the Ospedale della Pietà, Venice’s great orphanage for gentlewomen, received the best musical training that money could buy. Concerts and tuition were overseen by Antonio Vivaldi, but the staff also included a series of virtuoso oboists: Ludvico Erdman, Onofrio Penati and the
German-born Ignazio Siber. Vivaldi had ample opportunity to ask advice about the latest advances in oboe playing – and a regular supply of brilliant young soloists, too. So there’s a real sense of theatre about this concerto, one of at least three that Vivaldi Is known to have composed for two oboes. The two soloists frequently play in close harmony, like trumpets, and the concerto even begins with miniature fanfares.

Ok, it’s a not very snappy name, so we tend to call ourselves the OAE. The OAE is probably one of the top ‘period instrument’ Orchestras in the world. What does this mean? Well, over the years instruments and techniques have changed. We try to be authenti...
