Anyone have any information? From a Beethoven list: The oboe concerto has been getting a lot of press recently ... here is an example: <http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/magazine/daily/5325650.htm>http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/magazine/daily/5325650.htm You might want to try the following: <http://www.unheardbeethoven.org/search/search.pl?piece=h12awh4.mid>http://www.unheardbeethoven.org/search/search.pl?piece=h12awh4.mid <http://idrs.colorado.edu/Publications/DR/DR5.2/beethoven.html>http://idrs.colorado.edu/Publications/DR/DR5.2/beethoven.html I might add that ASV has recorded this concerto in 2002 with the oboist Francoix Leleu and L'Orchestre de Bretagne under the baton of Stefan Sanderling. It should be released this year. Bill Blank http://kernunnos.com (Celtic studies and numismatics)
