One of the world's most famous oboe players, Klein says he waited to acquire a professional lifetime's worth of experience before putting his stamp on the six sonatas heard here. With pianist Phillip Bush, Klein plays works that he says \"define the modern oboe\": Camille Saint-Saëns' jovial, late-Romantic Sonata for Oboe and Piano, Op. 166; York Bowen's lushly beautiful Sonata for Oboe and Pianoforte, Op. 85; Henri Dutilleux's emotionally wide-ranging Sonata for Oboe and Piano; Petr Eben's youthful, inventive Oboe Sonata, Op.1; Francis Poulenc's late, philosophical Sonata for Oboe and Piano, FP 185; and Eugène Bozza's Sonata for Oboe and Piano, an ethereal, rarely heard tour de force. Klein possesses a \"tone so unique and beautiful that musicians from around the globe would flock to [Chicago's] Symphony Center to hear him play\" (Chicago Magazine). He won a Grammy Award in 2002 for Best Instrumental Solo Performance (with Orchestra) for his recording of Richard Strauss's oboe concerto with conductor Daniel Barenboim and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
