NP: a disc of oboe concertos by Johann Wilhelm Hertel. I heard one of
these on the Michigan State classical radio station in late December
and I liked it enough to scribble down the name. Hertel's life
overlaps with Bach's, I think, 1727-1789, and so these are pretty
baroque sounding. I never heard of Hertel before and the liner notes
indicate that he's not often rememebered now.
The lead oboe player on this German issue from 1991 is Burkhard
Glaetzner. This item might be going out of print; I had a copy in
my shopping cart at Amazon.com and the next day it was no longer
in my shopping cart, and all traces of the disk had vanished from
Amazon. I got it (for $5 less!) from cdconnection.com.

With a birthdate of 1727, Hertel was close in age to Haydn, and of a
very different generation to Bach. (By the time Bach died, in 1750,
Baroque music was already considered quaint and old-fashioned.) But I
don't know his music and can't say more of him than that.

Yeah, Leslie pointed that out, and she says it's Classical in sound.
Never trust anything you read on the Internet.

Ba-dum. Very early Haydn (before 1760) can still have a faintly
Baroquish tinge to it, especially to the untutored ear. Could apply to
Hertel, depending on when he wrote what you heard.
