G SammartiniAt t he end of the 17th century and in the first half of the 18th century, the o boe enjoyed an unprecedented flowering. In France, the Hotteterre brothers developed the instrument from the shawm, and it had become a ‘civilised’ in strument, suitable for use in art music. Louis XIV founded an orchestra con sisting solely of oboes and bassoons. Its spread across Europe could not be stopped: virtuosos travelled to Germany, the Netherlands, England and Ital y.
So too did the father of the ‘hero’ of this programme, Alexis Saint -Martin, who settled in Milaan. Several of his children also became oboists , of whom Giuseppe developed into the ‘Heinz Holliger’ of his day. To displ ay his virtuosity, he composed his own concertos, incorporating difficultie s that only he could perform. At the age of 33, Sammartini left for Londen, where he played solos in Handel’s orchestra and worked with the famous cas trato Farinelli.
It was in this city that he displayed the Italian “co ncerto style” with which Vivaldi had become so famous in Europe. Handel was undoubtedly inspired by him, as witnessed by the beautiful solo passages f or oboe in his oratorios and concerti grossi.
Another composer in Engl and had been inspired by an Italian: Charles Avison reworked harpsichord so natas by Domenico Scarlatti into concerti grossi, adding a note of his own here and there.
The Venetians Vivaldi and Albinoni composed beautiful concertos for oboe, perhaps with Sammartini’s oboe sound in mind. Be that a s it may, even Bach was greatly impressed by their compositions and arrange d them for solo organ.
He was praised by Quantz and other cultural cri tics as: “[…] the greatest oboist ever, with a remarkable tone that approac hed the quality of the human voice […]” Sammartini’s beautiful and virtuosi c music was published in Amsterdam in his day, which is an additional reaso n for Accademia Amsterdam to compile a programme around his concertos.
