I grew up with Holliger on the Stereo, the first oboe sound I was aware of existed. I agree - it's nasal and thin, almost metallic at times, but when he plays, you soon forget. There is - compared to other oboists who feature this sort of sound - nothing weak or constrained about his playing.
He plays with a drive, fantasy and flow, which many oboists lack. This is why he is still so highly regarded (phenomenon status), at least here in Europe.
My taste in sound - the one I like (hope!) to produce myself - is far from Holliger's, but I always enjoy listening to him when I put him on the Stereo. When musicality and artistry is so apparent, the tone just seems right.

Tone is not just tone. Tone from two different oboists, stripped from attack, vibrato and air intensity of any kind may sound almost the same, even from 'different schools'. It's the way the tone is mixed with vibrato, how the reed is blown in general and how the oboist phrases that influence our perception of tone.

Holligers tone - isolated seen - is no better than a beginners, but his control of breath, and all the other stuff a real Pro can do, makes all the difference.
