Lost And Found

Albrecht Mayer is widely considered the world s greatest oboist

On his new album Lost and Found, he presents rare and sublime oboe concerti from the 18th century

With his unmistakable cantabile sound, Mayer breathes new life into these long-lost jewels of German high classicism

Always looking to expand the repertoire of his instrument, Mayer discovered these four 18th Century concerti in ancient music archives in Thuringia and Saxony

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
