Gion Antoni Derungs' Opera 'Il cerchel magic'

A short video from (already so long ago!!) 2012. It’s a short oboe solo in the opera ‘Il cerchel magic (1984)’, composed by the swiss composer Gion Antoni Derungs.

It is the first swiss opera written in Romansh, the exotic fourth official language in Switzerland. The two concerts we played were very special, as they were intended to present the concert’s version of the opera. The composer self, Derungs, reworked and arranged the opera for this version. But sadly he could not hear it, he sadly passed away on september 2012, just 3 months before the concerts.
