He is an alien, very extra ordinary and superhuman oboist, the best in the world, genuine virtuoso

De rien! 💕

[@jean-christopheMiquel-ef3ur]

Un artiste prodigieux qui ne se sert pas de son instrument pour briller ... mais qui , avec sensibilité , art subtil des nuances et un brio étincelant , sert l'oeuvre pour la faire briller de mille feux dans une pétillante allégresse , si manifestement contagieuse aux talentueux musiciens de l' orchestre. Incomparable et unique .

I know this piece well. Superb performance. It is one of the most playful not to mention enjoyable pieces going.

[@WDRKlassik]

Thanks, François Leleux is fantastic!

[@user-sm5wo9cp3o]

François kann einfach auf der Oboe machen was er will, er ist ein freier Mensch. Welch eine Gesundheit!

[@ultradmann2367]

That's dope that this is actually what a clarinet solo piece called the Hillandale Waltzes theme is based off of! Really awesome interpretation, beautiful ornamentation, great accompaniment from the orchestra and virtuousic playing that demands your ears attention! Awesome stuff!

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you! Nice to hear that you like it.

Herr Leleux is a great player. But he overplays everything…and it is more like a show …and the frasing??Give me a player with less tecnik. Brynjar Hoff

[@chroboe]

Yes, I can only imagine what it's like to have such phenomenal technique that these standard show pieces like the Hummel, Pasculli, etc are boring for him and he has to rush and overplay in order for it to be interesting for him. It's sort of like Superman going back to work at his newspaper job or something. I agree with you that someone with less technique can find musical solutions to technical problems is usually more interesting to listen to.

[@franciscoalmazanalhambra6965]

Maybe for Schumann...for a piece like this, Leleux any day and twice on sundays.

[@ubergeekian]

This is a thoroughly silly piece which can easily take any amount of hamming up. Wonderful performance.

[@arzumustafayev2106]

Bravo Maestro. ❤
