I'm REALLY not a fan of "modern" or "contemporary" music (referring to the compositional style, not the age), but here's what I hear.

=> I'll be rough because I know you're good and you'll take it the right way... all encouragements.
=> fully worth paying for a concert ticket

--- overall: certainly as good as my old prof. who specialized in this stuff

---- Oboe tune
* Did you say you're playing a Marigaux or a Buffet? Sounds like my old prof's 901
* Your reed sounds very "free" which is great
* you chose a soft staccato (emotional) whereas I'm used to tight/hard staccato (tut, not ta') in comtemporary style
* around minute 8 and 20 seconds, your notes don't sound as soft as I think you want them
=> remember the difference between loudness and character: you need a p character
=> maybe playing with orienting your bell closer between your legs might help
### good note: your dynamics and sound are convincing and free sounding

--- Cor Anglais tune
* This I can listen to!
* Are you playing a Lorée? Sounds nowhere near as free as your oboe
=> more difficult tuning on specific, select notes, but you compensate well.
* Excellent choice of where to/not use vibrato
* excellent choice of emphasized notes.
* good work on sustained notes - nice even tone
* excellent overall Cor Anglais playing - but it shows you're an oboe-ist.
