Just so my liking of Heinz isn't taking too out of
context these are my favorite oboists... in order of
how I'm feeling right now.

I wonder what everyone else likes. It would be nice to
hear some new things.

The list:

Lajos Lences - Beautiful "singing" quality

Ruth Bolister - Absolutley lovely "regal" sound.

Pierre Pierlot - Simply floats on air with occaisional
unexpected breezes of heavenly bliss.

Hansjorg Schellenberger - Sweet and lilting

Christian Hommel - Like butter!

Cynthia DeAlmeida - She's has a bit of reedy character
with a smidgen bit of that darkness. Very lovely
playing.

Allan Vogel - Absolutley phenomenal, but sometimes
that dark quality gets in the way.

Elaine Douvas - Very exressive and lyrical, but a bit
submerged (I think it's the recording though)

Burkhard Glaetzner - Sweet, if a bit submerged.

Heinz Holliger - Baroque personified. Paired with a
harpsichord his tone color rises to the occaision.

...left off the ones I didn't like, for lack of space.
(Kidding!) >;)

Regards,
Stephen
