Vocalise
Albrecht Mayer, oboe
Vocalise is a compilation of favorite pieces from Albrecht Mayer’s recent releases in which the oboe more than lives up to its reputation as a wind instrument remarkable for its singing tone. The artist personally selected this collection ranging widely from Baroque arias of great virtuosity to the charm of the French chanson.
