The Oboe BBoard

What a great comparison of sounds - Christoph Hartmann's sound and yours couldn't be more different. And yet, for his Strauss Concerto tour-de-force it is just what is needed. The German school of playing (Lothar Koch, Schellenberger, Mayer, Hartmann et al) seems to be grounded in power and strength, while the American style has more poignancy and gentleness, somehow. You have no difficulty shining through the orchestra with your pp solos, however! The oboe is an amazing instrument in that respect. The whole orchestra sounds superb, BTW. And who is playing Cor Anglais? Did she have her own mic? Her solo projection was phenomenal in the concerto. The Cor part often gets swallowed in the orchestral texture, but not here! She played a wonderful counterpoint to Christoph's solo work. Brava! J.
