[LaSultanadelaFontana]

Maestro Mayer has excellent phrasing and superb musicality. Bravo!

[Chazoboist]

This piece convinced me to play the oboe. No regrets.

[enioboista70]

Ascoltarti è come fare l'amore...Anzi se è mentre si fa l'amore è divino!

[izzles369]

albrecht mayer is a god. his love for the oboe and its music truly shines through when he plays.

[ericoschmitt]

oboe is such a beautiful instrument when played well.. people who think it sounds like a dieing duck should hear this. its actually much more beautiful than violin

[Perfect5Recurve]

@ericoschmitt I posted this on my facebook last year and one of my trumpet friends listened to this and he was like," holy shit!, thats what an Oboe is suppose to sound like?"

[WenchesOfRedemption]

@ericoschmitt A million times more beautiful than the violin...

[GGefter1]

Soul of an Angel

Tone of a  Human

Phrasing of a Master

[Javier141145]

[MagicTwilightSaga]

This was beautiful, it made me think of something else then the music. And that is a good thing.

[vdgjolly]

gänsehaut ...

[paradoxicus]

Un bello dialogo musical excepcionalmente interpretado.

[emoemoemo13666]

[cammiiiiii]

[TePuke]

no words in the world can tell you about love that simply. goes straight to the heart ^^

[lulupsycho1]

Albrecht mayer is an excellent oboist and has a particular style.

realy can recognize the sound

visit my channel to hear songs from an oboist in Venezuela.

versions of the Folias converted into Venezuelan music sound great.

the particular subject of which I speak is called "pole Barroco".

[Jaimejimmyjim]

He looks like one of the Beatles with that sweater, if he is German therfore he is Volkswagen

[Realstar95]

Ich sitze grade im Computerraum und suche nach Händel Zeugs. Muss dadrüber Referat machen :)

[StevenJeNova]

This is perfection. So graceful. So swift. Pure joy.

[Charlioboe]

espectacular!!!



[zwernemann]

wunderschön, früher war alles besser!

[olenanota]

häendel´s music is the perfect representation of humankind´s enjoy of life

[fallacyification]

he's a twitter fan! hahaha

[kyblueeyes85]

I realized long ago that He is playing Josef oboe in the beginning. It wasn't until today however, that I remembered the whale is Josef's symbol..... And made the connection between the oboe and that fabulous sweater.

[Triangularmeerkat]

Does he wear that whale shirt to every freaking performance, or were all these clips recorded in the same day? I'm grasping at straws, here!

[karahan246]

Well done, wonderfull tune and great performance. While listening I could feel warmth and peace in my soul. Thanks a lot.

[SantaKrasS]

Stellt euch einfach Ernie aus Stromberg vor xD

[hnsn]

@SantaKrasS

Ich wusste es, an irgendwen erinnert er mich!

Aber 100% :D

[rolloadams]

I like his whale sweater! Haha

[davidhornsplayers]

magnifico

[Xmasreturns]

Oboe d'amore page on wikipedia states that it's the alto version, essentially, of the oboe family. Just sayin'

[oboistCONDUCTOR]

SO PERFECT AND MOVING. THE IDEAL OF OBOE. And he is a nice person. Not easy to find in a good oboist

[ckala13]

So good. Makes me wanna learn to play the oboe.

[oboistCONDUCTOR]

ckala Begin inmediately!

[Hex2a]

magnificent playing, inspired, words cannot describe

[Perfect5Recurve]

Does anyone know where a person could find any of his transciptions? i would love them =]] =D

[Perfect5Recurve]

Albrecht Mayer ist zweifellos der beste Oboist auf dem Planeten. Er ist ein absolutes Genie für die Idee, diese schönen Stücke und Aufzeichnen von ihnen, so kann er seine Magie an ihnen arbeiten. Ich bin ein Vollblut-Klarinettist und ich muss diese Stücke so finde ich sie für meinen eigenen Gebrauch umschreiben. Und vielleicht spielen sie auf der Oboe eines Tages als ich neue Liebe für Instrumente

[Radetzky19]

I cant stop listening to this. I am an oboist and this is pure bliss. This piece reminisces of someones state of tranquility and peace... as if overcome by an overarching peace and understanding. And in the background is the most picturesque countryside...

[c0rang1]

The Voice of God

[williejax2]

who is on lute? Luca?

[mattysnailboy]

wow the bassoon is so lively too at the end XD

[carlahuysmans]

marvelous this oboe-play of Haendel,my favorite composer ! pure enjoy.

[BUCH0NIA]

Albrecht Mayers Klangbild gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut. Der Zuhörer spürt die Klarheit, Weite und Offenheit des Klanges.

[fristaidfirst]

pure

[Rofetta]

Tällaisesta musiikista tulee aina iloiselle päälle.

[ragmeier]

Große Musik, genial interpretiert.

[Xternium]

Wow it just sounds beautiful.

[repelsteeltje12345]

and the third part is an Alto-oboe, well known as the english horn

[Perfect5Recurve]

Im sorry but, thats incorrect. The Oboe D'Amore is the Alto Oboe. The English Horn is the equivalent of a Tenor Oboe

[BandolAFL]

From low to high it goes the Heckelphone (Bass), baritone oboe (Baritone), english horn(Tenor), oboe d'amore(alto), and the oboe(soprano).

[repelsteeltje12345]

the second part is indeed an aboe d'amore

[TheTwg888]

Never conduct with your instruments, especially oboe. You'll break your reed on the next guy's head five beats before your entrance lol. Believe me, I've wiped out a few reeds on my music stand during orchesra rehearsals.

Great performance. Is it just me or does his oboe (in C) seem to have a serious extension? Extra key system attachments maybe?

[TwilightLover02]

Hes not conducting. He's just moving. I play the oboe and I move around a lot when I play. And if you know what your doing you wont break your reeds.

[colojuli]

the last one is an englishhorn

[Perfect5Recurve]

his oboe in in the first song seems to be a full conservatory oboe along with his english horn i believe. the second song, he is playing the oboe d'amore, which has the bocal and maybe be full conservatory in addition to its obvious extra length

[nineblackkasabian]

love the ending of the last one haha

[vitoparisi3]

Kunstfertig

[Godsfirstangel]

ohh my... this dude absolutely rocks! Best oboist i´ve heard xD

Besides his sweater of course ^_^

[Foneio]

by all means call me ignorant but what is the second instrument he's playing, it looked like he cross bred a cor anglais and an oboe!

[scuffmcgruff86]

that is an oboe d'amore

[repelsteeltje12345]

LOL. This is not an oboe d'amor. It is a normal oboe.

[spyrixx]

Read the title :)

It's oboe d'amor.

[CBorreroYT]

Magnífico!!!

[kelborgui]

Meu Deus que som!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cupido47]

wunderschön!

[JStrange13]

Well done! An excellent performance from Albrecht Mayer, as always. And always wearing a stupendous sweater.

[bungeeful]

@JStrange13 Totally agree, Mayer is perfection, I can only assume that the 6 people that didn't like it sit at home watching the x-factor thinking it's real music!!!!!!!

[swedenkiller]

the idiot that plays mandolin, eats chewing gum hahaha

[MercifulMe]

the idiot that's name is swedenkiller can't tell the difference between a lute and a theorbo.

[swedenkiller]

aha....but i recognise the difference between an idiot and a good one, that`s better. anyway....you need to study english.....could be is better to speak a correct english than understand a theorbo

[MercifulMe]

I try to save my correct grammar for important things like email and daily conversation, not leaving comments on youtube.

[swedenkiller]

so why are you so exigent ? you can`t speak english, and you write in english....so why are you aggressive to me? i didn`t recognise a theorbo....but i didn`t speak about musical instruments...only about the man that`s eating a chewing gum...in a really unprofessional way....what would you f..... tell me ? i don`t understand what you want

[MercifulMe]

English is my native language. I am surprised I mixed up you putting Mandolin and Lute. It's a recording session though, so for making a CD I don't see the problem with chewing gum. Also, I was just joking with you, but then you were just mean.

[yamsef]

oye bambioboe... es dificil tocar el oboe? Me usta muchisimo ese video, toco violín pero me gustaría tmb tocar un poco oboe.

[bambioboe]

no me canso de verlo es magnifico que sonido, musicalidad toooooooodoooooooooooooo!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

[mycatzorro]

I am an oboist and today I tried an oboe d'amore for the first time... Mayer's sound is SO much better you wouldn't even know they were the same instrument :)

[bambioboe]

que bello lo amo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ijdoti]

4'47" - love the theorbo player munching away on chewing gum...

[ghrvood1r]

I want a jumper like that!

[yamsef]

OMG! that's so great, mild, I would be the guest violinist of Albrecht.

[sousique]

Sinfonia Varsovia ... I'm lovin' it :)!!!

[Drizzt333333]

Albrecht Mayer IS the best.-

[Perfect5Recurve]

I just absolutley love this! Albrecht Mayer is most fantastic!. the Oboe, Oboe D'Amore, English Horn and blessedly beautiful instruments. The Basson is great too. I'm a Clarinet player and i long to just even play a single note on the Oboe.

[Foneio]

cool man i play oboe and clarinet. if you do play oboe dont worry about your sound at first it wont sound good till ages

[Posadadesu]

who´s the bassoonist?

He has a great sound, and how can he moves like that?

[tootalljohn88]

does anyone know what brand that sweater hes wearing is?

[spyrixx]

I think it is Mama Mayer ©

[malcken]

Am I the only one to have noticed his awesome sweater?

[nelsonkurapika]

Wat happen to his Reed Socket .. ? It's look like baroque oboe socket ...

[wkleung11]

His reed socket is made of ivory

[Bolorinvasore]

and what does that do? =s how did he get it?

[wkleung11]

I think it's just for decoration. He is the top artist for Buffet oboes and I am sure he can ask for whatever he wants.

[sr14225]

I find interesting that his sound seems a bit brighter than the typical German sound. There is nothing wrong with it, he has a great sound, but not as dark as say a Marigaux sound.

[lennic95]

did you know that 20% of Marigaux break within the year of manifaction

[wkleung11]

He is playing on a Buffet oboe. Also his is not using the reed style as the older generation of German players.

[eabfme2]

This is the most beautiful music i've ever heard!

[Tono0042]

just wonderful!

[robynsalain]

albrecht mayer est sans nul doute le meilleur hautboiste allemand.un pur trésor que ces transcriptions de haendel qui apportent du bien à l'ame et au coeur.

[homousios]

This is fantastic!!! If we buy the DVD from amazon n Germany can we play that in our region. Amazon here does not have it.

[Omichitje]

Your computer will play it, but your regular DVDplayer won't accept it. That's for when you're in the Americas or Asia.. Any European player will catch it.

[homousios]

Thanks for the info. Europe is definitely better

in that respect. I guess I have to get a multi-system player.

[themusical1two]

This piece is an adaptation of the violin version of the same name. There is a Berenreiter version available, it runs approximately $375.00 US dollars.

[bckm54]

OMG how beautiful! The oboe has always been my favorite high-pitched instrument, and you just don't see nearly enough music for oboe d'amore or english horn. THanks for posting!

[Haegtessa13]

The bassoonist looks like he's playing a professional Schreiber, can anyone tell what model it is ?

[AnnabellDream1612]

The Oboe d' amore in my mind is the sweet soft voice in the Oboe family and it's rocks..

[naky31]

Someone knows the reason that Arbrecht plays EVERYTIME with the same pullover??? I love this whale!!

[sutphoe]

lolol!ha!yeah he does...doesnt he play in the berliner phil?

[spyrixx]

All the pieces were recorded on 1 day.

[Haegtessa13]

Maybe he considers it lucky ?

Haha. I don't know a double reed player without superstitions, myself included.

[blackninja14]

deat god, doesnt ANYONE know where i can find the first piece sheet music-wise? i swear, its almost as if it doesnt exist!

i <3 hearing him play this piece, its so wonderful. just wish i could get a shot at it.

[sousique]

Simfonia Varsovia !!!!

[plenty02]

the oboe d'amore is such a pretty instrument! I wish I had one right now!! I so envy my oboe teacher because she has one!!

[BudgieLover]

I like the lute player chewing gum at 4:45 :-))

[alainrobynsds]

albrecht mayer est sans nul doute le meileur hauboiste allemand.un pur trésor que ces transcriptions de handel qui apportent du bien à l'ame et au coeur !

[oboemarigaux]

Hello, thank you for uploading these videos of spectacular Albrecht Mayer, I have 2 questions:

who plays the oboe Mr. Mayer with head of ivory, is that brand?. or luthier wind does this work?

The oboe d amore that touches on the documentary part 2 mark is that?

Thank you very much

[MercifulMe]

Beautiful playing! Does anyone know what kind of oboe he plays on?

[bmwski0507]

Its a Buffet oboe.

[MercifulMe]

I thought so, but what about the ring around the reed receiver?

[Baal16]

Buffet Crampon Green Line. not wood actually.

[learjet4]

He's just as proficient on english horn/d'amore as he is oboe =) What a great player.

[Larscmichel]

its awesome!

how is the piece called?

[Dackelfreundin]

1. Trio Sonata for 2 Violins and Continuo in G minor, HWV 393 "Dresden" No. 2

arr. (for Oboe) by Andreas N. Tarkmann

2. Allegro ("Tornami a vagheggiar" from Opera 'Alcina', HWV 34)

3. Water Music Suite No.3 in G, HWV 350  Arr. Andreas N. Tarkmann "Country Dance"

[oboer0904]

who is the bassoon player???

[Dackelfreundin]

Guilhaume Santana

[1Arlive]

genial!! me encanta!

[gabrielmacak]

Genial, fantasic... Danke !!!

[friesengeister5]

Was für ein genialer Musiker!!

[adroboe]

me encanta su sonido, es impecable

y su tecnica igual

es un gran oboista

[scuffmcgruff86]

oboe first song, oboe d'amore second, and english horn he plays in the last song......

[scuffmcgruff86]

wow, your tone is amazing!!! How do you scrape your reeds!?

[bmwski0507]

Albrecht Mayer is a german oboist so he makes his reeds with a german short scrape.

[scuffmcgruff86]

do you know of a chart with the measurements?

[bmwski0507]

No, I play an american long scrape.

[Oboisimo]

Realmente no hay palabras que puedan expresar todo lo que se siente al momento de escuchar a un gran músico como el maestro Albrecht. En la segunda obra, toca el Oboe de Amor.
