Oboe & Cor Anglais
Daniel Shaul
Whilst the oboe rarely appeared in klezmer bands of the past, you can hear from the sound tracks here that it can be very much part of an ensemble.
On 1950s album Tanz! there is a cor anglais featured on the track Der Yemenite Tanz, used to conjure up an exotic 'oriental' feel.
Klezmer oboists in the later 20th century and today include:
Finland Daniel Shaul (also tsimbl)
Germany Anne Venske, Thomas Siebert
USA Hankus Netsky
Azoy Tanztmen played by Klezwerk
with Anne Venske on oboe
Odessa Suite played by Gefilte Fidl
Listen out for the oboe!
Der Yemenite Tanz
Not strictly klezmer, but part of the iconic 'Tanz' album released in 1956. The cor anglais player is not named.
Itamar Freilach played by Klezwerk
with Anne Venske on oboe
