Latvian composer Peteris Vasks (born 1946) is one of the most prominent names among living composers today. This album by the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andris Poga includes the first recording of Vasks’ atmospheric and pastoral Oboe Concerto written for the centenary celebrations of Latvia’s independence in 2018 and performed by one of today’s leading oboists, Albrecht Mayer. The new concerto is coupled with two early orchestral works from the 1980s, Vestijums and Lauda – both musical manifestations from the final years of the Soviet Union when occupied Latvia started its peaceful fight to regain the country’s independence.

Andreas Ottensamer, Kammerakademie Potsdam, Emmanuel Pahud, Albrecht Mayer – New Era: Stamitz, Danzi, Mozart (2017)

Ottensamer presents a dazzling selection of the clarinet’s early repertoire from 18th Century Mannheim, with works by J. and C.P. Stamitz, Mozart and Danzi, together with the Kammerakademie Potsdam.
Featuring duets with Albrecht Mayer and Emmanuel Pahud – two of the great wind soloists of our time and Ottensamer’s friends and colleagues at the Berliner Philharmoniker. It promises to be the chamber recording of the year.
The “Mannheim school” was a melting pot of “revolutionary experimentation” – musicians from all over Europe coming together to develop a new explosive and colourful sound – forming the orchestra as we know it today.
The Mannheim Orchestra was also the first to adopt the recently developed clarinet into the orchestra, and here Mozart heard the instrument for the first time.
“It’s fascinating to think that Mannheim inspired so many composers and musicians, and it was the players themselves who made it happen – it gave them the chance to do their own thing. Every aspect of composition, playing, teaching and conducting was concentrated there, and audiences went wild, blown away by the kind of rock-star ensemble that they heard.” Andreas Ottensamer
Ottensamer’s debut album on Decca Classics – the first clarinettist to sign exclusively to the label in its 89 year history.

‘Seitdem ich denken kann, hatte ich den einen riesigen Wunsch: einmal die King’s Singers (von denen ich schon als Kind jede Aufnahme hatte und pausenlos hörte) zu treffen. Nach über 30 Jahren wurde dieser Wunsch für mich nun Wirklichkeit, und mehr … Dass ich dieses Album aufnehmen durfte, mit diesem weltweit einzigartigen und absolut unvergesslichen Gesangsensemble, ist ein wunderbares Geschenk für mich.’ Albrecht Mayer

Deutsche Grammophon are very pleased to present Albrecht Mayer’s new album ‘Lost and Found’ in which he delivers a rare and sublime oboe concerti from the 18th century which he discovered in ancient music archives in Thuringia and Saxony.
Widely considered the world’s greatest oboist, Mayer with his unmistakable cantabile sound, breathes new life into these long-lost jewels of German high classicism .
The four, classically proportioned concerti are direct predecessors to Mozart – there is even evidence Mozart knew and studied these works, and may even have had a hand in the composition of the work of Kozeluch.
The music on this album is beautiful and very lyrical, and thus ideal for classical radio stations such as Klassik Radio, Classic FM etc and since his previous albums have consistently ranked in the German pop charts – the only oboist in history to have achieved such prominence and popularity- ‘Lost and Found’ will be the continuation of an incredible career of recorded success.
