Tomaso Albinoni - Concerto for Two Oboes Op. 9, No. 12

Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni (8 June 1671 – 17 January 1751) was an Italian Baroque composer. While famous in his day as an opera composer, he is mainly remembered today for his instrumental music, such as the concertos, some of which are regularly recorded. From Six Concerti, Op. 9 Concerto No. 12 for Two Oboes 1. Allegro 2. Adagio 3. Allegro I Musici The 12 Concerti a cinque were dedicated to Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria, and were first published in Amsterdam. It is possible, but not certain, that they were written in the Elector's court during a 1722 visit there by Albinoni during performances of his theatrical compositions
