HEINZ HOLLIGER

Deutsche Grammophon’s first collaboration with the great Swiss oboist, composer and music director Heinz Holliger dates to 1964. Contemporary repertoire has always been present in his career, which has provided him the occasion to extend the capacities of his instrument, also thanks to the development of new playing techniques. To celebrate his 80th birthday on May 21, 2019, Deutsche Grammophon presents Essentials album featuring the oboist’s original compositions, as well as a selection of works by Albinoni, Bach, Mozart, Strauss and Zelenka. Essentials is available for download and streaming!
