Ralph Vaughan Williams - Oboe Concerto - III. Finale [Scherzo]

[TheMarcHicks]

That bit just before the end is a total nightmare to play-trust me on this ;-).

Vaughan Williams, my favorite. What a great way of showing off the technical side of the oboe whilst giving opportunities to shine through with beauty. I often find the best concertos have lots of passages where the soloist is playing passages that are not really difficult (Opening of Tchaik piano Concerto No. 1, the big block chords). Vaughan Williams, you have my soul.

What a lovely, wholly English little piece this is. Thanks so much for the reduction score -- you can come turn pages for me any time. Beautiful job coordinating the visual and sound.

Sounds like Tolkien's Shire in the big lyric passages, doesn't it? That whole generation . . .

5:47 - 6:02 might just be the most wonderful thing I've ever heard. Amazing piece, they really don't make 'em like this anymore.

I love this work. The one oboe concerto I like as much is the Cummings. It is a pity that only an excerpt of the last movement is posted of that concerto.

Love the ending from 6:15 on especially at the 3/2 ... so very sweet. Sends chills up my back

The section starting at 3:36 is one of the most beautiful things I've very heard. It's just exquisite.

I also love the leading music the oboe makes at 2:51 for the Orchestra. They blend so perfectly it sounds almost like one giant instrument! lol

[whygote]

i absolutely love that you show the oboe part and piano reduction so that we can follow along.

starting at E (about one minute in), it begins to remind me a bit of the movie, The Last Emperor, for some reason

This movement is a little odd, but I think it is incredibly beautiful. I never heard it before this, only the first and second movements.
