Céline Moinet, principal oboe of the Dresden Staatskapelle, recommends Richard Strauss.

Good for mother and baby, she says.

It feels special to play Strauss oboe concerto while pregnant. I am very happy to share the stage tonight with my daughter.🤰🏼❤️🐣#Strauss #oboe #concerto #challenge #pregnant #whynot #letsdoit #pregnantonstage #itsagirl

    Any other suggestion ? How about Beethoven’ last movement of the 9th Symphony :
    – the « Road to the Joy »

  • Tamino says:

    not too many options for oboists anyway.

  • cym says:

    Maybe her oboestetrician has suggestions …

  • Petros Linardos says:

    Stick with the Richard Strauss. Beautiful work, wonderful humany story about its creation. A great fit for her orchestra and their music director. What is there not to like about it?

  • Paul Carlile says:

    …to be followed by Symphonia Domestica.

    but probably not, unless they’re deep sleepers; Symphonia Dormestica.

  • That’s the concerto that killed a guy a few years ago!

    • Richard Zencker says:

      Right, principal oboe of the San Francisco Symphony. Wonderful player. I have not been able to listen to the work since.
