Concert Stream: Cristina Gómez Godoy, oboe

Warm and smooth

What an entry into the world of classical music! In 2012 Daniel Barenboim gave Cristina Gómez Godoy, then just turned 21, a position in his Staatskapelle Berlin, where she now plays the solo oboe. Since then, the young virtuoso, who was born in the Spanish town of Linares, fills her free days playing with other world-class orchestras like the Berlin Philharmonic, or in a witty chamber-music ensemble alongside Daniel Barenboim, Guy Braunstein or Claire Huangci. More than enough reason, then, to spend a whole evening enjoying the oboist’s »wonderfully warm, supple tone« (Deutschlandfunk) at the »Rising Stars« festival.

The current »Rising Stars« appear at the Elbphilharmonie every year in the space of a week. Concerts cannot be given in front of a large audience this time round, but everyone can still enjoy the festival: the concerts are being transferred to the internet, and can be watched as a stream: Go to Cristina Gómez Godoy’s concert stream
