Nowadays we take vibrato for granted, but it's a relatively new thing considering it was rarely practiced in the early 20th century.
Leon Goossens was ridiculed for using vibrato by his fellow players back in the day (even flautists very rarely used vibrato in his early career whereas now they often overdo it beyond the point of being tasteful), but listen to his playing and we wonder what all the fuss was about as what he was doing back then set an example that we all follow now.
And from one of the vibrato pioneers, here's a taste of what he did so well, what has become widespread and what we all take for granted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxZP3aKN75A
Although there are instances where no vibrato has its place, but vibrato is what we all expect to hear from any oboist.
