Vivaldi's oboe concertos represent the largest single collection of oboe concertos by an 18th-century composer which have come down to us today. The first Venitian reference to an oboe is in 1692. It was thus a new instrument in Venice and it is amazing that Vivaldi was already writing highly advanced concertos which thoroughly exploit the technical possibilities of the instrument. Musically the principal ingrediant in these concertos is the wonderful contrast between allegro movements which are brillant and highly virtuostic and slow movements which are extremely touching and expressive. The occasional allegro non molto movements introduce more moderate colours and emotions creating an overall, multi-coloured panorama.
