Magnifique son, magnifique articulation. Et magnifique sonate, bien entendu.

😍😍😍 One of my favorite oboists playing one of my favorite sonatas!!! A dream 😌

The BEST rendition of this beautiful sonata I've ever heard. Just gorgeous.

You have to listen to Maurice Bourgue or François Leleux. Different style but really amazing.

@@leroicanard3520 I like their versions too, but I have to say I do prefer Brazeau's. I don't usually like the American oboe sound, but the magic Brazeau produces is an exception.

[@leroicanard3520]

@@Xingqiwu387 the Barzeau' s version is very "scholar" in my opinion. No dynamic contrast, no color, no risk. I'm sorry, i don't speak very well english and my words may seem a little bit rude. Anyway it's a good version.

@@leroicanard3520 I would love to hear Celine Moinet play the Poulenc. She is my current FAVORITE oboist with a tone that is absolutely sublime!

Francis Poulenc's Sonata for Oboe and Piano, beautifully played by Claire Brazeau and Richard Valitutto, delightfully reveals the oboe's technical and expressive qualities.

I would love to see your reeds. Your tone baffles me--like a flute up high and like a cor anglais elsewhere.

[@davispo7550]

It might also be the oboe. She plays a Marigaux

[@Xingqiwu387]

@@davispo7550 Marigaux are THE BEST oboes on the planet. Nothing else even comes close.
