Shinohara: Obsession pour Hautbois et piano: Oboe: Instrumental Work

Japanese born Makoto Shinohara was born in 1931. He studied at the Tokyo University of Arts before moving to the Paris Conservatoire. His passion is for electronic music but his catalogue is varied and includes the sublime Obsession for Oboe and Piano. Composed in 1960 Shinohara had just completed his studies at the Paris Conservatoire under Olivier Messiaen and other experimental composers. Obsession exploits the Oboe and Piano through riveting uses of tonality rhythm dynamics tempo articulation and shared melody. For all advanced oboists seeking to include a challenging yet excitingly uniquecontemporary work in their repertoire Shinohara's Obsession suitably fits the bill!
