I think that the root cause in the change of oboe tone is conductors, and not oboists.
I think, and I am only speculating, that if he had his way, Tabuteau would have been perfectly happy to play with a small and limpid, although very expressive tone common to French oboists at the time. If he did not play in Philadelphia, which was a melting pot of an orchestra he probably would never have been “forced” to change his tone colour. I use the word forced, because from all accounts I have read Tabuteau reluctantly changed his tone because the oboe sound was being lost when the texture thickened around him.
With regard to Francois Leleux, I do not think that his sound is indicative of French oboe playing, as he has played many years in German Orchestras. I think we need to listen to oboists of French Orchestras to gain perspective on their tone before we can state that most French oboists are playing with a dark sound.
Although, I am sure that we can all agree that what makes a great oboe player is what they do with their tone and not how they produce it.
