I assume it's only two oboists, with both players doubling on oboe d'amore and cor. Though further down the page it says '2 oboes, 2 oboes d'amore' so is that four players, or the fact that both oboists are playing d'amore as well?

I wouldn't have thought he'd have the two oboes and two d'amores (or cors) all at the same time.

Best bet is play the d'amore part on d'amore, I know cors have been used, but the d'amore parts do go pretty high which will be weak if played on cors.
