 Re: Has A Standard for Oboe Sound Become Universal?

There will probably be a new opening for first oboe within a year, as Jan Spronk is expected to retire; he may however (in light of the recent developpements??) choose to stay on, as he has already done this year. No audition has as yet been confirmed, and everything I say here is 'hearsay'. But needless to say that I and other oboists from the Dutch tradition are hoping that "one of us" shall win that position, although the general concensus is that things are looking bleak. People are sceptical, especially as the current Dutch top oboists were all cast out in the semi-final during the last audition, where Alexei won the post. As more and more non-Dutch enter the Concertgebouw orchestra, people who give no importance to the sound tradition of the orchestra, it is becoming harder for Dutch style players to gain enough votes in the auditions. With more non-Dutch on the audition panel, the votes of people who want to maintain the traditional sound are having less power. Let's see what will happen! I don't want to sound nationalistic; nationalism is a very un-Dutch concept, except when it concerns Football! But in this case I think we are throwing away our own traditions too easily. I'm happy, however, to see that there is an international discussion going on!

Bye, Chris
