I saw the documentary a few weeks ago Chris, truly fascinating and inspiring. Goosens never ceases to amaze me, if one considers the context and time on which he was playing in.
Nowadays there seems to be a backwards trend, people are disliking singing vibrato in the playing of wind instruments. No one plays like this anymore, except perhaps Han de Vries, Hollliger...whom are all a bit out of the scene (Holliger still performs a lot apparently...but...). I heard Mayer's French cd recently and was quite surprised at his constant vibrato, fast, but narrow and hides behind his dark if not sometimes stuck sound. So, there you go!
