Orchestra

During two years I played as first oboe in the Chamber Orchestra of the Palau de la Música Catalana. The presentation concert was the second of March of 1987, in the Palau de la Música, with a programme that had as the invited soloist the great pianist Alicia de Larrocha. I also remember a Baroque programme where I played as a soloist the concert for oboe in mi minor by Telemann, which we played again in the Festival Grec de Barcelona, in the Cicle of concerts of Música Clàssica del Monestir de Santes Creus, and at the Festival Internacional de Girona. The collaboration with the Orfeó Català was explicit in such concerts as the one we did in the Palau the day of Sant Esteve, interpreting “The Creation”, of Haydn. Another concert to remember is the one the orchestra played in Teatro Real de Madrid.

Some collaborations that I remember with much love are the ones I did with the Banda Municipal de Barcelona, playing “Quadres d’una Exposició” by Mussorgski in the Palau de la Música, the “Missa” by Stravinsky with the Chamber Orchestra of el Teatre Lliure, the Bach concert for violin and oboe with the orchestra directed by Juan J.Olives, the “Gloria” of Vivaldi, with it’s famous Aria for oboe, in the Palau directed by Salvador Mas, and with musicians mainly from the Orchestra of Barcelona, and the “Passion”, of St.Joan de Bach, playing with Claudi Arimany the "Aria" for flute and English Horn "obligato".
