<<What is this "Cleveland sound and Philadelphia Sound" I know tone can be influenced from country to country ...but from city to city...is it that definable...?>>
Somewhere on this board, fairly recently, there was a substantial discussion about the "Cleveland" vs. the "Philadelphia" oboe sound. Or maybe it was just a discussion that took place in my own mind?
Andrew, it's just two schools of thought about how an oboe is supposed to sound. The Philadelphia sound is perhaps brighter, more sprightly, more flexible. Elizabeth Koch's sound as a 17-year-old very definitely fits into that profile. Today, I imagine she has developed the lower partials in her tone a little more, and I'll bet she sounds different from that as a 21-year-old.
The Cleveland sound is heavier, "darker", mellower, and probably less flexible. The chief practitioner (possibly the originator) of the Cleveland sound was John Mack. The chief practitioner of the Philadelphia sound . . . I don't know who I would pick. Suggestions?
It has nothing to do with the cities, per se, but with the oboists who had their careers there. And since, as someone on that elusive prior thread has mentioned, John Mack (Cleveland) was a Tabuteau (Philly) student, it all becomes moot at some point.
So -- those who are more into this than I -- who are the poster children for the Cleveland-Mack sound, and who for the Philadephia (Tabuteau) sound?
