Absolutely! I never will understand how Ennio Morricone could create such a lovely piece. Gabriel's oboe is my favorite. Nothing like it. I learnt to play sax 50 years old to play this masterpiece. Ennio, thank you for the giant gift you gave to human race with your celestial music.

Non-oboe players will NEVER truly understand how noteworthy it is that he can make the lower and higher notes sound so effortless and blend so seamlessly together. That is SO hard to do. It’s like singing, it’s not easy at all to smoothly and softly go from low notes to high notes without straining or having a noticeable break in your range.

Many years ago (in 1998, I believe), I worked at the K-Mart in the small Tennessee town I lived in. I worked with one of the most fascinating (and kind) people I've ever known, a man named Wayne. He was a former concert pianist of 20-something years. He had worked at half a dozen opera houses around the world over his career. We talked about music in many, if not most of our conversations. At the end of that year, he gave me a Christmas present of a handful of CDs of his favorite recordings of much of the music he had shared with me. My one significant contribution to our many discussions of classical music, was when I told him about how "Gabriel's Oboe" was one of the most beautiful pieces of music that I'd ever heard. His response was to gently correct my pronunciation of "Ennio Morricone," and to tell me that he was in a New York bar one evening, many years earlier, talking music through the night with Mr. Morricone. I'll never forget the year I spent having those many conversations with a man named Wayne.

In school I played the oboe too. I felt the same way you expressed. I went to a huge school and remember there being so many that played the snare drum, saxophone, clarinet and flute... We used to perform a mini solo for a grade and I'd get a little embarrassed because my instrument (sound) was so different than everyone else's. Over time I learned and realized this is a beautiful sounding instrument and not the easiest to learn and master. I encourage you to keep at it, if you enjoy playing. Look up oboe orchestra solos for inspiration.

Okay I came across this video about a year ago by accident when I was doing my school homework. I was in complete shock of how beautiful and breathtaking this song was and instantly I felt a connection with it. A few weeks later I mentioned the song to my band teacher. She said she had heard of it and that it was beautiful. A few weeks after that I had a lesson with her (I play oboe myself) and she was stressing about the music selection for our concert. I (without thinking) offered the idea of performing this piece... she loved it. She told me we would perform this piece and I was over the moon exited. That was a year ago and now in three days I will be performing this beautiful work of art as an oboe soloist accompanied by my middle school band. This song, this oboist, even the conductor and the band sparked something within me so strong I had no idea I could even feel.

I, like you, played oboe once when I was in middle school. However, unlike you, I didn't love the instrument, I thought it produced the most annoying sound ever... The only reason I played it in middle school was because my band teacher told me I had a talent for it. Apparently not everyone can play this instrument, let alone produce a sound from it. The reason I'm telling you this is because just recently I listened to this piece and it made me shed a couple tears. Believe me, I am not a person who cries, I usually surpress my emotions, but something unexplainable happened... Hearing the beautiful sounds of the oboe took me back. It was as if the instrument want to prove to me just how wrong I was. This is a beautiful instrument, difficult to master, yes, but just be patient. It is one that requires patience, only then can you unlock it's heavenly sounds. I regret putting the oboe down 10 years ago, I was simply a naive little boy. I can see that I'm about a month late on this reply, sorry. I hope your concert went well. Don't forget to cherish these moments and believe in your self. Don't give up on oboe as I did.

Genius

Know that every time I hear this heavenly song my prayers ascend for someone

[@theamaturepro]

As a Simi professional oboist, I'm envious of this man. That last note is something most can't pull off and he nailed it.

[@marydammer9985]

My favourite rendition of this piece

[@DianaPhoenix]

Tears, always. So touching.

[@danipianistapop2196]

+Diana Phoenix I´m always crying when I see this video... is so emotional...

I grew up listening to Ennio Morricone's music. I never tire of listening to his breath taking soundtracks. I'm sad he died, I wish he could have lived forever.

[@joshawyer3320]

I have loved this piece for many, many years. Its beauty still moves me to tears, even after all this time. Absolutely stunning 😘😍

[@matierik]

What a touch, best performing ever. Painfully beautiful

[@aniarablechannel4668]

His control of the upper register is incredible. He'll make the high A sound completely warm and beautiful, even though it is very difficult to give high notes that type of texture and sound. They don't sound stringy or out of tune like every other oboe player including me would make them. You really have to appreciate his skill.

[@judydemoss8330]

Aniarable Channel, years and years of practice! And did I mention years of practice? Beautiful playing!

[@thejman3489]

Aniarable Channel part of it has to do with the reed. If you scrape it just right you can make a reed capable of doing that. But you also have to practice a lot to be able to play like that.

[@toolstimber5953]

Most likely he has played this hundreds of times over an over. Practise makes a master.

[@danshengquan4901]

His instrument is also fully automatic. A puchner i remember, very rarely

[@peternicholson233]

Play with yourself.

[@Drdeepmanta]

The only explanation for 1700+ to “dislike” this musical piece is that they were in war and lost their hearing capacity due to grenades attack. Love from Kuwait.

[@thinredline2795]

Sorry to hear you lost your hearing

[@shin-i-chikozima]

I can't listen to his profound masterpiece without being moved to tears This masterpiece will quench and moisturize the dryness of the soul, and evoke comfortable feelings and peace of mind

[@jannetteyoung5859]

I just love the way Henrik plays this wonderful piece of music. Whatever I am doing at home, I stop in my tracks to listen. Such a shame Ennio Morricone is long longer with us.

[@helenasantana6483]

I remember when I started playing the oboe, it sounded like a duck slaughter house 😂 Perseverance is the key 🥰

[@marlenerodulfa4397]

This is the best version of the song, I think. ♥️♥️♥️

[@TheUnderscore_]

This deserves that cheering at the end and more. What a breathtaking performance of an absolutely gorgeous piece.

[@cynsha]

Simply beautiful. I could listen to this for hours.

[@majorlaff8682]

The human voice is the most beautiful-sounding instrument. The oboe comes a very close second.

[@a.t.c.3862]

And the violin too, sometimes it sings...

[@ColinWren119]

The Theremin is very similar as well

[@og_sane]

When you get chills from music like this, you know you're real.

[@grizzle273463]

Ive heard well over a dozen different people play this song and this one is by far the best------it's also a minute longer than others. That slower tempo and increased duration is so critical to sustain certain notes longer to elevate the listeners feelings to a higher measure making the entire experience so dramatic and moving to the heart.

[@vivotoole5590]

Makes me cry every time I hear it, such a beautiful piece of music, I adore the whole soundtrack but this is very special

[@corinneschneider4718]

This is my favorite oboe solo ever written.

[@adamdenman8358]

This playing by Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt is, in my humble opinion, absolute perfection! Such beauty, control, emotion, warmth, truly incredible, and a million times better than the playing in the film's soundtrack. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@bno5357]

Yes, it is a fantastic piece of music. I lost my mom a few days ago. While driving with my Spotify on random this fantastic playing of a uknown to me great music. I got goosebumpsI, broke in tears and had to pull aside full of emotions unable to drive for a few minutes.

[@eleanorpenwald6534]

Adam Denman : Adam I agree with your comments. Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt plays it with such feeling and control - I love this so much and have it on my regular playlist. Brilliant!

[@ezone447]

눈물이 나네요 .... 천상의 소리같아요...

[@seanlee4660]

I don't know how many times I come to this clip. And every time I watch, I can't stop my tears. A man was about to be killed and he played this tune, how Ennio could've expressed the deadly shock so beautifully...

[@hansvandendolder2037]

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.Truly!!!!!OMG!!!

[@buttsquirt]

People can have whatever preference they want but how bad does a person have to hate himself/herself to give this video a thumbs down? I mean...seriously?

[@worshipwithjonathan]

People surprise me

[@springBloomsinAwe]

The ones that work for "thumbs down" company

[@colorfulchameleon9891]

It's probably oboists suffering as they struggle to learn this Trust me, I play oboe and it is *H A R D*

[@hiluholthansen3907]

I tend to think that in their excitement and haste that they must have pressed the wrong thumb. Otherwise, they must be a poor soul. I also just discovered that I can delete and edit my post. They may not have figured that out either.

[@googleuser2874]

Bots.

[@alexdubois1281]

My toes tingle, legs and arms pop with goosebumps, My back sheds years of stress,...and before I even realise tears are trickling down my cheek. I weep for this world. Ppl just don't know what's coming !

[@gavinwilshaw2312]

Many do.

[@swiftieizzy13]

i’m so happy i chose oboe so i can play this piece!! my mom loves it, and now i do too!

[@quanominh766]

When the melody of the oboe begins, a life begins

[@Scrungge]

He is gone, now he became music.

[@mmpoggs2033]

It is but an echo that remains ! Alas no more disgust at humans!

[@mahmudhassan9021]

It's true, transformation of person to music

[@cynthiabower8558]

This is my favorite song of all time! It moves me to the core of my soul ever since I first heard it in the movie. I'm going to learn it on the harp.

[@peterhosken3675]

I learned it on C harp. My favourite music of all time.

[@mortanos8938]

When pure unrefined passion, a masterful script and the skill to portrait this respectfully, combine themselves, the result is an immaculate work of art that brings tears to my eyes for literally every time I hear it. One of the greates pieces ever written. God bless Ennio Morricone (may he rest in peace) and Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt for the magic they have conjured.

[@efratgerlich8382]

It sounds directely from heaven

The world has lost a great man who brought us so much pleasure with his wonderful composing. RIP E Morricone. Henrik Goldschmidt does this piece great justice

[@trishakraybill5363]

The best version that ever exists. Too shame it doesn't release as an album or a track on a steam music platform.

[@joancrawford1726]

This piece of music was played at my brothers funeral.

I thought you and your brother didn't speak, Mrs. Crawford.

My brother just introduced me to this piece. At your brother's funeral!! Now you have me crying.

[@stephan6372]

Solo il genio italico del maestro Morricone poteva partorire un simile brano ❤
