I have always enjoyed Bart Schneemann’s oboe playing, ever since purchasing the CD It Takes Two. He’s a fine player, and seems to delve into a vast amount of music; old, new, he can do it!

I wish I could find something from It Takes Two, but I’m not seeing (or hearing) anything on YouTube yet. I’ll keep looking!

I can barely understand a word (although of course there are a few words I — and you two! — can clearly recognize) of this next video, but get a load of the double reed instrument!

So … anyone out there want to fill me in on what he’s saying?

And I’ve just ordered my copy of Melodies sans Paroles for Oboe & Piano (no language problems here; it’s all about the music!):

  2. clumsy fingers tonight! didn’t even get my name right!

  3. Yep, I’ve had the “It takes Two” since it first came out … I can’t even remember how I found out about it, but I bought it immediately! SUCH a fun CD! 🙂

    … and I just figured you were changing your name. Everyone does that when they are stars, right? 😎

  4. I’ve been a Schneemann fan as well but didn’t know about “It takes Two”. Goodie, another treat. Thanks!

    Are those guys playing in the same high-rise studio as the Baryton ensemble from a couple of days back?

  5. It sure looks like it’s the came location to me, Bob! I think there are a lot of videos filmed there from the same group of people.
