Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 (Bach) - I. Allegro

Little did I know that absolute disaster was awaiting me when I arrived at school the morning of this my Junior Trumpet recital at Wichita State University. As I walked into the music office, someone asked me if I was going to go ahead with my recital that afternoon. Having absolutely no reason why I wouldnt, I said of course, to which the reply came, who is going to play oboe on the Brandenburg? At that moment I knew something horrendous had happened, and sure enough, Oboe GTA Andrea Banke (who, BTW, is now the oboe professor at WSU) had smashed her hand in a car door the night before and broken her finger(s). Mercifully, my utter panic subsided quickly after learning that she had already contacted top undergraduate oboist David Jordan to play the part on my recital. David basically sight read the part without any rehearsing, and truly saved the day with a remarkably fine job under those circumstances.

[Angultra]

I like the tempo and the balance is just right between instruments. I couldn't help noticing, the cello player at the right looks also in period dress.
