Perhaps you are forgetting about Alex Klein. He was one of the few oboists awarded first prize at the Munich ARD competition since Holliger, and you can bet that he is well-steeped in the Philly tradition of playing through his training with James Caldwell.

I think you need to look at the truth when it comes to playing the oboe here in North America. If you are looking to win an orchestral job and you go in and play like your coming from left field, you will be eliminated. I can't think of a large North American orchestral where their principal oboe section is a European transplant. Liang Wang of NYP is Chinese but American trained through and through and Eugene Izotov sounds more American then some American oboists. The same, of course, can be said about European orchestras...no American trained oboist in their ranks.

I personally think one of the greatest failings in music education is this idea of absolute freedom when it comes to music-play what you want, how you want and do whatever as long as it sounds good. Music is information and there IS a right way and a wrong way of playing things. That is the truth many just do not want to accept.
