Ok, it’s a not very snappy name, so we tend to call ourselves the OAE. The OAE is probably one of the top ‘period instrument’ Orchestras in the world. What does this mean? Well, over the years instruments and techniques have changed. We try to be authentic, by using instruments and playing styles similar to those the composer would have been familiar with.
You might be wondering what difference this makes to the actual sound. Well, it tends to be a more edgy sound than polished modern orchestras. It’s a gutsy and definitely a less ‘polite’ sound. Plus the OAE is well known for its sheer enthusiasm for music, which comes across at every performance.
Our UA-cam channel gives our musicians and guest artists a chance to share with you what inspires and motivates them - from the idiosyncrasies of their instruments to the unique approach to the music they perform. We also occasionally post a fun trailer. Happy watching!

Stream in full at www.marquee.tv Six months before he premiered the Concerto, on 5 April 1803, Beethoven had suffered a terrible crisis as he faced up to the reality of his hearing loss.

Bro really plays ruv sound
Great !
m'ha agradat molt la teva explicació del fortepiano 🤩
Wow❤❤❤
Me enamoré del barroco cuando era niño por esta obra, excelente interpretación! gracias por hacer este mundo más bello 🦢
Lovely music, so beautifully played. Thanks from George
I thank those who gave me the like. I am not looking for likes but I saw that the administrator of this site who bestows hearts at will, evidently either disagrees with my words or expected more recognition of this performance, which I indirectly did...
It was a terrible disappointment to me in my younger days to learn that it doesn't require the demise of a cat to re-string a violin.
It wasn't me! I have an alibi for that night.
Stunning, thank you for posting.
Omg 🥹
Biblically accurate cello
That's fretted? Why?
There's something so longing and nastagic about this maybe it just me

Really good performance .. Thank you all :)
ah, la note brune
Divine. 🙏🏻
Why didn't we give the name suckpush in English as it is etymologically correct according to the word saqueboute? Rather than sackbut that sounds like that.
Super! Vielen Dank!
Such beautiful, soul soothing music. I will definitely revisit this video many times in the future.
Hey dude, you look like a cute fella
Beautiful oboe playing
Beauty and gentility uplifts the soul in this musical prayer🎶❤️🎵🙏
When I'm at orchestra hall in Detroit they tune the 9ft pianos every time they use them. Big deal
Beautiful and moving. Thank you.
The design was borrowed from a Da Vinci prototype for a moon rocket.
Lovely. Thank you :)
This is an authentic and beautiful Adagio by Albinoni, not like that false and ugly Adagio in G minor attributed to him for years, but actually composed by Remo Giazotto, his biographer in the mid-20th century, who unfortunately, undeservedly, became very famous.
Beautiful!
A work of art.. beautifully done
Sound like englishorn🎉
Makes me think that Debussy was just making a play on a similar, but earlier, well-known observation made about lute players, that in one 17th century manual the author wrote that a sixty year old lutenist has spent thirty of them tuning.
The euphonium was a huge improvement!
So if the piece you're playing is in, let's say e flat major, you set the b, e, and a pedals to "flat" and leave the rest as "natural", then if an accidental comes up, you just shift that pedal into the correct position for that note(s)...or is that NOT how it works? Always wondered...
Yes
On behalf of Alison: Yes, that is correct
As a cello player, who regularly drags around a 10kg cello, how on earth do you travel with a theorbo?!
Alison- what a true, class act ❤
Very very informative, thank you.
This must be the bass that Paul Chambers played. Listen to that bowed sound.
Amazing video, thank you!
A beautifully sounding instrument achievable only by a true professional.
This man seems so incredibly nice! I love how to see the comparison of this probably average big man and this beautiful monstrosity of an instrument.
It’s only proper that Debussy’s insults are as devastatingly delightful as his music is.
I can see a potential problem if you need to play in a different temperament than the one for which the harp was made (presumably 12 equal divisions of the octave for most harps), you won't be able to adjust the sharp/flat proportions, and so some of the notes that are supposed to be fully enharmonic will not be (and, when applicable, notes that are supposed to be no longer fully enharmonic will be no longer fully enharmonic by the wrong amount), and you won't be able to adjust to fix it. This is because the pedals have to be in discrete positions to get a note. If you hold a pedal in between, you get a horror movie soundtrack or heavy metal sound demonstrated in ua-cam.com/users/shortsCJQFKc7Jnw0 (second to last special effect) and ua-cam.com/users/shortsjjAOcndfwzM (the more heavy metal version). To get continuous action that you would need for such adjustment, you would need a slider mechanism like on the Fluid Piano ua-cam.com/video/t7Cq3pbcMkI/v-deo.html&pp=ygULZmx1aWQgcGlhbm8%3D but with all of the sliders for one pitch class operated by one pedal (which would be very tricky since they would need to move by distances proportional to the string length -- the fluid piano in the linked video is a prototype that DOESN'T have this, and so the player has to move the sliders individually, which is impractical for normal use, although it could be used to set a fixed temperament since the fluid piano has a full 12 notes per octave).
BRAVO! As a retired oboist, I am thrilled to say that I have never heard of the Chalumeau family. What a lovely sound. I am glad you touched upon the reed. Oddly enough, after a year as a clarinetist I switched to oboe and found the oboe much easier for me (other than the reed making ... 🙂
This video makes me happy 😁
Fascinating!
Lyrical fingers and ravishing Ravel. Much appreciated, thank you.
