Subj: [DR-L] Delancie revisited
Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2007 08:32:52 -0400
Dear List:
Never thought I would be sending out the praises of John DeLancie.the late
first oboist of PhillY, but have just heard on the local radio his Mozart
Concerto with Ormandy conducting and am enthusiastic.
Maybe its aging and experience that makes us revise our initial impressions
but I am quite impressed by the impeccable technique,intonation,attacks and
individuality of this student of Tabateau.
And this comes from someone who grew up in the so-called NY school of oboe
playing and then studied with Holliger and became an admirer of Goosens.
I had always thought Delancie played flat but listening carefully it
sounds as if he is tune but the strings are going higher.His thinner tone
had never impressed my ears but from the perspective of today's almost
uniform oboe and double reed playing,it's nice to hear someone who is his
own self.
Any comments welcome.
Rgds,
Harold Emert
