Heinz Holliger (b. 21 May 1939) is a Swiss oboist, conductor, and composer.
Career Move
The circumstance described here is entirely imaginary. —- not Wikipedia
Said Holliger’s dad, “It’s a no go!
You can’t have a career where there’s no dough!”
But “no” turned to “yes”
When he saw the success
That his son had achieved with the oboe.

He’s Back! (Maybe)
In 1972 Holliger recorded Six Trio Sonatas for Oboe and Bassoon by Jan Dismas Zelenka. This recording is credited for the "Zelenka Renaissance". — adapted from Wikipedia
The great “Zelenka Renaissance”
Has had, all told, a mixed response.
In any case, it was big-hearted
Of Holliger to get it started.
