It's definitely your cocobolo oboe. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the many years of preparation behind each and every note you play. What a perfectly kick-ass sound you're getting these days, Coop! Congratulations, Pal. The TPO is lucky to have you. Now, am I getting old, or is that one of the youngest professional orchestras (the players, I mean) that I've ever seen? Maybe it's something in that Thai water!?
How do you like the new hall? It certainly looks gorgeous! How are the acoustics? I just got back from 6 concerts in China, and was not impressed with most of the facilities in Beijing and Shanghai -- the one MAJOR exception being the Shanghai Conservatory's concert hall, which was amazing. I had the same lackluster experience in Korea (Jeju) -- beautiful halls to look at, but lousy to play in. In contrast, I loved almost every hall I played in Japan.
Congrats again, my friend! Really superb playing.
