Subj: [DR-L] Lovely out-of-tune oboes???
Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2007 11:44:41 -0400

But --beg to differ ED--a good sound is also playing in tune.My ears hurt to
hear "lovely" sounding out of tune oboes play badly phrased and out of the
style music.Prefer a tuned oboe/bassoon playing musically and in the style.
HHolliger and Leon Goosens sound very good indeed to my ears!

Cheers,
