Literature Inspired Works for Oboe
Jenna Sehmann - Oboe
Dan Kubus - Piano
Release Date: October 9, 2026
Catalog #: NV6894
Since its rise to prominence in the Baroque era, the oboe has remained one of classical music’s most expressive voices. On TRANSFORMING TEXT, accomplished soloist Jenna Sehmann takes the oboe into the 20th and 21st centuries, performing little-known historic gems and contemporary compositions.
As the title suggests, these instrumental works for oboe — solo or accompanied by piano — draw their inspiration from a variety of texts: Cervantes’ Don Quixote, Shakespeare’s Sonnet No. 18, Verlaine’s Puisque l’aube grandit, and even Tolkien’s The Hobbit, to name but a few. The oboe, one of the closest instruments to the human voice, makes for an excellent storyteller indeed — especially under a command as flawless as Sehmann’s.
