Albrecht Mayer, Kimiko Imani – Hahn: À Chloris (Transc. for Oboe and Piano)

Musical moments are moments of memories, reflection, as a retrospect of the past and anticipation of the future. These are moments that enrich our lives with music that we already know or get to know in the moment of listening. Every two weeks, starting on 15th May, a new Musical Moment will be released by the yellow label performed by prestigious artists like Daniel Barenboim, Yuja Wang, Nadine Sierra, Avi Avital, Albrecht Mayer or Hilary Hahn just to name a few. ’À Chloris’ by Reynaldo Hahn ranks beyond doubt as perhaps the most successful example of musical time-travelling in the French mélodie repertoire. The piece, that is based on the striding bass line of Bach’s famous ’Air’, has charm, elegance, gravity and the ability to move audiences. Here is Albrecht Mayer’s beautiful version for oboe and piano!
