Our Principal Oboe Michael Wilson and Hong Kong pianist Rachel Cheung present two pieces by Schumann, written in 1849. The first, Drei Romanzen (“Three Romances”), was written in just three days for the composer’s wife as a Christmas present, and is Schumann’s only piece for oboe and piano. The second, Drei Fantasiestücke (“Three Fantasy Pieces”), was actually written for clarinet and piano, but in this performance, Michael and Rachel will perform the oboe and piano version.

七個演出，由港樂七位首席精心策劃。

這個全新影片系列，由港樂七位首席策劃及主演，他們分別是首席雙簧管韋爾遜、首席中提琴凌顯祐、聯合首席小號莫思卓、首席單簧管史安祖、首席巴松管莫班文、首席長笛史德琳、首席定音鼓龐樂思。

我們的首席將以音樂為大家展示他們與樂器的親密時光，透過演出不同時期的作曲家不同風格的作品，各種樂器所散發的色彩將叫您目不暇給。您將會隨同各位首席穿梭樂團各個組別：弦樂、木管、銅管和敲擊。請盡情享受這趟奇妙的音樂旅程。影片將於隔星期二於港樂各網上平台首播，密切留意。

港樂首席雙簧管韋爾遜及香港鋼琴家張緯晴為您演奏舒曼的兩首作品，同樣於1849年寫成的。第一首作品------三首浪漫曲。作曲家用了三天便完成了這作品，作為妻子的聖誕禮物；這曲也是作曲家唯一的雙簧管及鋼琴合奏作品。第二首作品是三首幻想小品。此曲實際上是為單簧管及鋼琴而寫的，不過，在是次演出中，就讓韋爾遜及張緯晴呈獻雙簧管及鋼琴的版本。
