Piazzolla Suite for Oboe and Strings
Not to take away anything from a fabulous technique, his performance seemed to be about the performance, rather than the music. I heard more dazzle and awe than I heard of Mozart.

Maybe the slo mov’t would have changed my mind.
All that aside, to watch this kid grow up into what he is today is awsome.
But, again, I wonder what else he does with his life…
Sigh…
You’ll notice I never critique. I only post! I let you all say the harsh stuff. 🙂
(I’ve never liked the Mozart oboe concerto; I MUCH prefer the quartet!)
But at 17? I was busy dating Dan and I’ll bet I wasn’t anywhere close to this level. 😎
