Swiss oboist, composer and conductor, born 21 May 1939, noted for performances and contemporary compositions; studied with Pierre Boulez and Sándor Veress.

Renowned as one of the leading oboists of his generation and a significant composer of contemporary chamber and orchestral music. He has an extensive recording career and is respected for both contemporary and baroque repertoire.

JohnOfPatmos's review frames Lieder Ohne Worte as demanding, unsettling, and deeply expressive chamber music. The album is praised for its crystalline, ethereal textures and standout pieces such as Trema (solo violin) and Elis (three piano night-pieces). Holliger is presented as both a leading oboist and a refined contemporary composer.

For:Listeners of contemporary classical music, chamber-music fans, oboists and adventurous classical listeners

 It's like standing in front of a steep wall with few handholds. And having to climb it.
