[@Welcome_To_Life]

So informative thank you. Oboe players are usually very humble and I always complement them on how important their instrument is!

[@KM-tv5km]

Scheherazade! One of my all time favorite orchestral pieces, love that melody

[@Orchestral-Tools]

It really is!

[@TRISCORE]

favorite woodwinds Oboe but I like bassoon as much, maybe because I'm a cellist and bassoon and cello are similar ( "Brothers from another mother"

A trick : you can watch series on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies these days.

[@armanioakley9909]

@Jerome Maxim Definitely, I've been using flixzone for months myself =)

4:51 Dvorak New World symphony

[@barrythird3297]

That instrument was beautiful and loud

[@danielpoissant2091]

A special thanks to the oboist.

[@justinpierce7712]

Hold up. Where is the second octave key on his English Horn?! Is he playing an automatic system instrument?

[@lovermuzak]

I wonder why the oboist switched his bells for some of the clips and does the bell shape alter the tone of the instrument? Good video

[@Musiker211278]

Nice observation! I am the oboe player in the video and during the time the video was shot I was testing different bells and brought several instruments for the recording. The shape influences the projection of the sound especially in the higher register differently. I did not switch on purpose for different passages, I was just comparing the bells during the session and as a result different bells are visable in the cut.

[@lovermuzak]

@@Musiker211278 thank you for teaching me something new about the oboe.

[@chief2632]

multiphonics on reed instruments are very distrubing

[@Teladian2]

I would comment that flutter tounge is not very effective on oboe as the size of the opening of the reed makes it very difficult to produce a controled and audible effect.

[@migueldoliveiracomposer]

He looks so much like Lee Mack I keep waiting for a joke between phrases. Great tone.

[@kylejudkins754]

oooo I love me some shostakovich

[@timcox5373]

1:44 is where Vitas got his melody and a meme was born

[@RodrigoEscalona]

Hi! I'm an Oboist if u need one

[@lapislazers2373]

Yo your english horn has a low Bb key your a hacker

[@justinpierce7712]

Ikr. I wish all all English Horns had low Bb keys

[@redpillrat163]

Cor Anglais rather than English Horn, is what I prefer it to be called, and I prefer it over the Oboe.

[@rosalinddavies8466]

Me too

[@porsche911sbs]

"Cor Anglais" is just "English horn" translated to French

[@wisterio3757]

4:09 The player in the video would benefit from sitting straighter, maybe by raising his music stand a bit. His air column must be quite constricted from the posture he has and it's most likely hindering his full potentiel as a player

[@Orchestral-Tools]

Thank you for the feedback.
