So many recordings including many MHS LP recordings with Heinz Holliger. Musical Heritage Society Because of my pianist father Joe who taught Paul Hindemith harmony and counterpoint classes as a student at Yale in the late 40s and graduated three years on piano, at Yale music school. I have about 10,000 LPs mostly classical period Heinz Holliger is on many many recordings. I have played oboe since 1965... I still play and make professional handmade reeds. Heinz briefly tested a profiled reed and I believe he thought it was quite wild still, needing a clip I’d imagine. So I had a heavy musical classical background beginning with my father and turning pages for him beginning at eight years of age on a 8’ 11 1/2” 1965 Concert D Steinway. (9’) At age 10 dad would say, play the oboe hardly anybody does, you’ll get all of the solos. He was right :-)
Oboists must rank right up there with Bill Gates and Jerome Powell in terms of salary. These devices are now more than $2,000! And then you need a $2,000 gouger; a $1,500 pre-gouger; an $800 guillotine, and vast amounts of tube cane! Clearly, only dentists, lawyers, and corporate CEOS can play the oboe. Musicians would be wise to stick with the flute or clarinet.

Fantastisch!!!
Holliger has never sounded better. He's actually developed a real oboe tone.

True but Oboe is much better then Clarinet or Flute, it's not so basic. :P
