Hello Susan,
I find that the solo oboist commonly has the "big and deep" sound. Those that fit into the orchestra better seem to be those who have a slightly more reserved sound, quiter, and sweeter, blending in well with the rest of the woodwind section.
I have a large, fat and rounded sound with an occasional overload of vibrato; and often I have been accused of being too much of a soloist for anyones particular liking (I like that comment myself though..as I do hope to be a soloist and shall prefer it that way)! Those with the soloistic sound seem to have more showy aspects of their playing than those who suite the orchestra, symphonic or not.
With Regards,
Melanie
