You mean modern, or classical?
Modern: Elliott Carter, the 1988 oboe concerto composed for Heinz Holliger, who's recorded it with Pierre Boulez' Ensemble InterContemporain on Apex (dead cheap). It's one of Carter's most accessible pieces and it's really gorgeous.
Classical: Mozart. Look no further.
And in between there's the beautiful, poignant Oboe Sonata (1962) by Francis Poulenc.
These three works will satisfy you for a long time.

I was thinking more of classical than modern. Thanks for the leads. Mike

Philips 420 189-2
Omer hits the mark.
Musically there are better works around than this collection of baroque concertos (Marcello, Sammartini, Albinoni etc.) but Heinz Holliger's playing justifies this recording a thousand times. For any work you buy (Mozart is not to be forgotten), he's just the only oboe player to go for.
These very joyful little concertos would be called Muzak by some, but Holliger's accuracy and sound transforms them into real gems. And the recording quality is first-rate.

Albinoni, by all means. Italian baroque. A contemporary of J.S. Bach's. Chandos has three discs devoted to his double oboe concerti with the great Simon Standage and Collegium Musicum 90. We have the first two and we play them a lot. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Vol. I to start, #0610. Very sweet. That and the Mozart will make you very happy.
