Ivan Podyomov Oboe

The song-like Oboe Concerto was one of Mozart’s most loved and performed pieces during his own lifetime. Discover why in the hands of internationally recognised soloist Ivan Podyomov, Principal Oboe at Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and an internationally recognised concerto player too.

Maxim Emelyanychev complements Mozart’s charming creation with the first symphonies of two iconic composers: Schubert’s is a remarkably mature, dramatic work for a 16-year-old, while Beethoven’s strains against musical rules from its very first notes. By way of contrast, SCO Associate Composer Jay Capperauld delves into Bruckner’s macabre fascination with those two composers in a brand-new piece.
