Oboist brings more 'Hidden Gems' to light
LAWRENCE — Even though she said it’s “hardly revolutionary” to rescue old music from an archive, oboist Margaret Marco is still excited to bring out a new recording of French baroque period compositions, some of which have been unheard for 300 years.
In “Hidden Gems: Sonatas of the French Baroque, Vol. II,” the University of Kansas professor in the School of Music presents five works, comprising 22 movements, by three composers: Nicolas Chédeville, Jacques-Christophe Huguenet and Élisabeth Claude Jacquet de la Guerre. Marco is joined on the recording by her fellow KU music professor, cellist Hannah Collins, and KU alumna Elisa Williams Bickers on harpsichord.
