Love at first listen!

"I'm an aspiring professional, and have been buying up all of the versions of the Strauss Concerto lately, to try to prepare for a competition. I just came across this one (my teacher rec'd it). Wow! Most of the American versions that I've heard could be described in one word. Borrrrring! I mean, when will John Mack release his hold on the instrument?? Tell me that.. Anyway, Peter Cooper really makes the instrument sing. It almost reminds me of listening to an exciting vocalist. Fluid. Amazing phrasing. Poetic.So...what's with the Mulliken piece? I wasn't sure what to expect (NOT more modern garbage, please?). Amazingly, it's really nice. Technically challenging. Tonal. Actually beautiful. I wasn't sure about the whole "EBB" thing in the liner notes. But even that actually works.So...my advice is to buy it. And open up your view of the world of the oboe."
Two Exquisite Oboe Concertos

"One solid concerto in the oboe reportoire from Strauss and a newer composition by Mullikin which surely could find its way into the instrument's reportoire are here played exquisitely by Peter Cooper.Both are romantic in style and melodic. Famaliar with the famous Strauss composition, I find it well played, yet somehow hits my ear as weaker than say Alex Klein's perfomrance with the Chicago Symphony.Find myself continually listenting to the Mullikin, and find it growing on my ear as most attractive, especially the cello-oboe duets in the third movement.Fine demonstration of this supreme solo instrument's soaring expressive capability played by a rising talent."
