John de Lancie (1921-2002), celebrated principal oboe of the Philadelphia Orchestra and director of the Curtis Institute of Music, originally suggested in 1945 that Strauss write an oboe concerto. It was premièred 1946 (not by de Lancie) and published shortly thereafter. The composer revised it in 1948.
When de Lancie recorded the work in 1987, he made several small changes, for which he sought and received that approval of surviving members of the Richard Strauss family. These changes included giving brief portions of the solo oboe line to orchestral woodwinds in order to ameliorate the extraordinary endurance demands on the soloist. De Lancie also reverted to the original 1946 ending of the concerto (before the composer's 1948 revisions).
Boosey & Hawkes can provide material for this version of the work, though some library work may be necessary to make inserts, etc.
The most definitive study of the matter is a doctoral document by Linda Elizabeth Binkley, for the University of Arizona, 2002.
