Saint-Saens/ Klein/ Bush - 20th Century Oboe SonatasGrammy Award winner Alex Klein, former principal oboist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, performs sonatas that signify the oboe's 20th century reemergence as a brilliant solo instrument. One of the world's most famous oboe players, Klein says he waited to acquire a professional lifetime's worth of experience before putting his stamp on the six sonatas heard here. With pianist Phillip Bush, Klein plays works that he says "define the modern oboe":

Bach thus created music that was every bit as significant and expressive as that of his much larger works
