Christian Immler had a most remarkable voice. How wonderful that this recording was preserved. Harnoncourt and Concentus Musicus Wien always have impressed me as very high quality as well. Certainly worthy of saving to Favorites and 5 stars.
If by "out of tune" you mean to say that they do not use equal temperament, then I think you are right, but they are in tune as far as baroque oboes go. I personally love the sound of the baroque oboe and prefer it to the modern oboe any day of the week. Modern oboes are too mechanistic. They sound just a little too perfect, and they lose their true character amid all the perfection, if that makes any sense.
Really good boy contraltos are very rare!!!!! He is AMAZING!!!!!!!!! The color and quality of his voice for his age is FANTASTIC!!!!!! A true boy contralto!!!!!!!
