Jumping from Mozart on Deutsche Grammophon to Bach on Decca, oboist Albrecht Mayer continues to explore transcriptions as well as works originally for his instrument on Voices of Bach. This is a good and necessary thing since neither Mozart nor Bach wrote a sufficient number of works for the oboe to fill out a single disc. In the case of Bach, Mayer has hit on the ingenious solution of including not just Bach's canonical Oboe Concerto, plus his concertos for oboe d'amore and English horn, but also eight arrangements of well-known chorales for chorus and oboe. This serves the dual tasks of keeping the program interesting for the listener and challenging for Mayer, and it works brilliantly. With his apparently effortless virtuoso technique and his pungent but poignant tone, Mayer turns in soulful and stylish performances of the three concertos, plus sweetly spiritualized accounts of the chorales. The English Concert, the excellent English-based Baroque period orchestra, and Trinity Baroque, a very small but quite superb chorus, support Mayer's solos with graceful but heartfelt accompaniments, and Decca captures them in clean, warm, and open digital sound.

I first heard Albrecht Mayer last fall when he played with Orpheus Chamber Orchestra at Carnegie Hall, and I was very impressed with his virtuosity in a Strauss concerto. Now we have this fine recording of Bach cantatas arranged for oboe instead of voice. The sounds of the oboe, at times augmented by the baroque choir and backed by the English Concert, are entirely natural, serene, and uplifting. You feel the oboe is as idiomatic to Bach as the harpsichord. Albrecht Mayer is principal oboe of the Berlin Philharmonic and a very talented virtuoso. You can listen over and over to this CD and be transported to a world of tranquility, order, and reverence.
