Hey, Brad!


While you're learning and developing your own chops, you still might want to listen to CDs from some of the great oboists, past and present, to see whose style, tone, etc., appeals to you.

It's fun to listen to the same piece as played by different oboists. As you listen, you will discover that some oboists have a "lighter" sound; others are "heavier". Some play with a great deal of ornamentation (trills, etc.); others prefer a more restrained and simpler style. Some absolutely shine on their fast, clean passage work, while others get their "claim to fame" from their shimmering tone and what seems like infinite dynamic control on their long tones.

It's even more fun when you get to the point where you can listen to others' interpretations of things you yourself are playing. What is their tempo? Where do they breathe? How do they phrase a particular passage differently from what is in your score?

Here's a link to site which has some nice oboe excerpts:

I've started building my own CD collection. Here is a list of a few of the players I am listening to (in no particular order) :

[I hope others on this board will add their own suggestions!]

John Mack
Alan Vogel
Ray Still
Gordon Hunt
Heinz Holliger
Elaine Douvas
Isaac Duarte
Nancy Ambrose King
John De Lancie
Joe Robinson
Alex Klein
Diana Doherty

All of these except Hunt, Holliger, Duarte and Doherty are Americans, but even within the "American" school, you will find a significant range of stylistic differences.

Educate your ear!

Susan
