As an oboist, I can tell you that this is truly a special performance. Even the camera work is polished enough to help us appreciate the impeccable technical mastery of this superb trio. It's not as easy as it looks to make this level of chamber music happen, and these fellows have it all together. Great intonation, ensemble, and musicality! Bravo!!
+rubicon1983 Sure, get him going. He's already learned how to read treble clef, breathe and play! Make sure to have him study with an oboist and not just a generalist! If he shows aptitude, get him into the reedmaking!
Hi. The three oboists in this video have been playing for over 20 years, and we certainly didn't sound like this when we were beginners. Practice, practice, practice ; ) You'll need to ask your teacher about reeds and which instrument to buy. But keep playing and you'll get there!
My 10 year old told me last night he wants to play the oboe. I honestly didn't even know what an oboe was until i looked up this video. This is some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard!
I played oboe from the age of 6 to 12.. sadly stopped then because of certain circumstances,.. but hearing this brings back the beautiful memories of being a former oboe player, one day I will resume this childhood passion of mine :)
Their endurance is like 100x mine 💀💀💀 I get tired after playing like 3 songs in band and they’re over here doing what looks like straight 10 minutes. Fricken Oboe Gods
im a flutist in my schools advanced band and i really loved the beautiful sound that can be originated from oboe so im giving it a try . i dont have much support so i have to train myself if i want to continue learning the oboe and getting better :')
SAME to all who relate, I'm the only oboe in the band. I've been playing for almost three years now and I'd say I'm pretty good, but I'd have to ask some of my bandmates for an honest opinion, since I'm me.
Anna Nelson my first year in junior varsity band I got Wind ensemble, the highest band rank in our school, as an only oboe as well. Well, I used to have buddies until they quit
@@nathanboss812 I've been playing for over 25 years dude you will get there someday. The oboe is very tricky to learn and unlike other instrument, you won't be playing other members in its family until your 5-6 year.
Marcus Lewis a other thing that sucks is the whole band says we suck, and calls us hobos. What even sucks more than that is that I’m best friends with two people, me and both of them wanted to play the saxophone. And guess what, both of them got a saxophone, they also even sit next to each other. While I get the worst sounding instrument in the band that everyone says sucks. It’s like god made it happen 😖
This is true talent. I have this downloaded to my ipod, and i literally listen to it every night before I go to bed. I'm absolutely in love with this. :]
I love how in the last minute of the piece, someone's throat finally couldn't take it any more and they had to cough, and of course it was during the most dramatic rest of the piece! You can tell the lead oboist isn't pleased with the coughing!
Absolutely magnificent...that Dupin has a most extraordinary sound, and your Marigaux has some of the most beautiful low notes I've ever heard! Also, absolutely stunning cor anglais playing! A huge bravo to all three of you...just amazing :)
@TotalWeirdAlFan27 Hi, glad you liked our playing. Firstly, everything is easier on the oboe with better reeds. Whether it be improving tone or technique. So if you can get your teacher to help you or order online from KGE- reeds. And secondly there are many great pieces for an intermediate player like Marcello Oboe Concerto and Nielsen - 2 fantasy pieces (available at RDG woodwinds). And then, of coarse, it's practice practice practice. ; ) I hope this helped. Best wishes from Copenhagen. Rixon
Un trio talentueux, sans aucun doute. J'ai toujours admiré le son du cor anglais, sans pouvoir y jouer. Le hautbois 1 et 2 jouent magnifiquement bien. Un grand merci pour cette splendide prestation filmée.
This is one of the best live performances of Beethoven's trio, which I could listen to and appreciate in the last twenty years of my life as an oboist! Three magnificent and incomparable young performers who know how to treat the oboe and English horn with exceptional refinement and attention to sound. SUPERLATIVE PERFORMANCE! VERY VERY GOOD. Bepi
This is singularly the most impressive double reed performance I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. That Cor Anglais has a timbre that could soothe the angriest of souls. So much expression in every note! I’ve listened to this performance more times than I can count and I will never get tired of it. Bravo!!!
celeste bell Wow. I played piano in kindergarten but quit in second grade because it frustrated me a lot. In fourth grade I picked up the oboe and loved it. I also play clarinet as a secondary instrument and might resume playing piano soon because music has become a huge part of my life. Side note, TFiOS (and vlogbrothers) is also a huge part of my life.
absolutely wonderful playing. I play in the USA, The english horn player bravo.... that was the cleanest and most gorgeus sound on the fast variation. All three of you sound tremendous
Adam Fairchild Sorry for the super late comment. Both the oboe and english horn are relatively very similar. Both have same fingerings besides the half-hole key being two separate parts. The reed is also similar, but since the english horn requires a bocal, the cork / end of the reed is a bit different than the oboe's reed. However, ultimately both are very similar!
Mr. Taco Loves Art The fingering is basically the same. The half-hole on the english horn are two separate parts or keys. Other than that, mostly everything is very similar to the oboe.
Gorgeous playing! Very beautiful sound, blend, and musicality. It is a gorgeous piece as well. Those of you learning oboe, keep listening to good recordings like this. That will help you get that good sound in your ear. Get some good (hand made) reeds and a good oboe teacher. Practice every day to develop a good embouchure and good technique. It is called an oboe trio because the English horn is a type of oboe - think of it as an alto oboe.
Brings back memories. In high school, I switched from clarinet to oboe. It was a bit of an adjustment to get use to the double reed. The key to a good sound is to construct your own reeds.
Thanks for the upload. Wonderful playing. Land mine potential for all three parts. Don Giovanni is one of my favorite Operas to play oboe in. It has intense chromatic dissonance and the most beautifully sublime melodies.
Lovely recording. I have not done this work but have done the other trio. The balance is impeccable and the players did not distract by dancing around too much. A better performance one could not have wished for - sublime
The oboe is just such a beautiful sound It’s so whimsical like a flute and wonky like a bassoon It’s so happy like a trumpet And so elegant like a piano
The slow but very blending style of the oboes and an English horn makes me feel at peace and it is just so beautiful... You guys are amazing at your instruments thank you for sharing this with everyone; I play the oboe as well and hope to be as good as this or better thank you for the inspiration!
Absolutely outstanding! I am just enthralled watching this. You all have magnificent skills to play such a difficult instrument with grace and aplomb. Bravo!!!
I started on clarinet and switched to oboe and it was the best decision I've made because you get solos, and college bands love love love oboes and its just a fun instrument because it is so unique and different from all woodwinds (: But, you can choose whichever you want to do because its up to you :3
It is called THEME AND VARIATIONS. Beethoven borrowed a theme from mozart's opera Don Giovanni ( La ci daren la mano) and arranged it for the trio varying the theme in each repetition.
Hi, we're glad you like our performance, even though it was Beethoven ; ) He wrote these variations on a Mozart melody when he was very young. With regards from Copenhagen, Rixon.
It is Beethoven's theme and variations on la ci darem la mano. He also wrote theme and variations on a lot of other Mozart opera arias including stuff from Le Nozze di Figaro and Die Zauberflöte.
Man, I play oboe and saxophone among other things, but watching this reminds me that I have a certain passion for oboe... different from everything else. Beautiful work, your tone is amazing!
Yes it's true that in the beginning you feel like you should quit. That is, until you do something right and you get very proud of yourself and keep on going and challenging yourself. You might get obsessed with oboe actually... Like if someone says, "I play the oboe" you might scream and jump with joy because right now I'm a loner in my band. So. Very. Alone. Also, you will get very annoyed when someone says "oh! You play the clarinet!!!!" I swear..
Kaito Shion also, reeds and the instrument itself might be harder to find and more expensive because I don't think they mass produce them like flutes... Same with lessons
Being an Oboe player myself...I fell in love! :D this piece is beautiful! You are all so talented! This piece also prove to my friends that circular breathing is possible...though they adamantly refused. So thank you :)
Es increíble como Beethoven capta tan bien la esencia del oboe y la trasmite con toda su espiritualidad e integridad... gracias por esta interpretación
I've only been playing 3 years now, and I've taken some lessons, asked professionals lots of advice on different kinds of oboes and reeds - the most important thing is practicing! This doesn't happen overnight. Don't be jealous or bummed you're not there yet - be inspired. I am!
@fhaweuifhiaweu This a french horn in F ( in french : cor anglais = english horn ) This piece was written by Beethoven "für 2 Oboen und 1 Englishhorn" WoO 28 but it exists an edition for Oboe and Piano .( Breitkopf Nr 6709) It's very pleasant too . ( well it's no so easy have two frends playing Oboe , two )
Hi, I've been playing the oboe for 9 years and have been trained by a professional oboist. My advice is to begin with a wooden reed; I started on plastic and it trains your mouth muscles differently...I had to be re-trained on a wooden reed. Also, if you really want to succeed at oboe you'll need a good instrument (I reccommend a plastic Fox oboe if you don't plan on playing professionally), and a good teacher...you cannot go it alone on the oboe! Best wishes, oboe is a rewarding instrument!
I used to play oboe throughout school....Wasn't all that good but listening to this makes me really miss it! Being at uni I carn't really start again either :s

Thanks Barry. Glad you like our performance. Greetings from Copenhagen, Rixon.

To me there is no instrument capable of expressing the range and emotion of the human voice, as the oboe.
I almost agree, however, I think that the saxophone has the ability if played correctly.
I definitely agree!
+haydenprogamer I play both. They are alike in alot of ways, but that would be a huge mistake calling them the same thing.
CafePets yeah oboe, or clarinet
Cello
proud to be an oboe player!
+Christian Udo A It is hard to deliver beautiful melody and the instrument itself is expensive.
+Christian Udo A not really,I started playing a week ago and I know almost all the notes
+Christian Udo A not really,I started playing a week ago and I know almost all the notes

Their endurance is like 100x mine 💀💀💀 I get tired after playing like 3 songs in band and they’re over here doing what looks like straight 10 minutes. Fricken Oboe Gods
this is what makes me glad I got the one and only oboe in the school
im a flutist in my schools advanced band and i really loved the beautiful sound that can be originated from oboe so im giving it a try . i dont have much support so i have to train myself if i want to continue learning the oboe and getting better :')

As the only bassoon at mine, I'd like to say we're practically cousins
Anna Nelson my first year in junior varsity band I got Wind ensemble, the highest band rank in our school, as an only oboe as well. Well, I used to have buddies until they quit
Can't believe I once thought oboes sounded like muted clarinets and didn't especially like them. This trio would seduce anyone to the contrary.
bbbartolo all my classmates think i oboe sounds like a duck or a muffled clarinet
@@chipb7685 or a goose 😔
I cannot imagine how hard the audience try to hold that cough. The music is too good to be ruined by a cough.
there is no audience. it implies that in the text below
+Caige Seaver you can see the audience in the bottom of the screen. There is an audience.
Actually there is whole bunch of coughing at the end of the performance.
sammimawon I wanna like but ur thing is at 69 likes so I wont
@@caigeseaver9798 So who was coughing and clapping in the last minute of the video? Hallucinations?
I've never met an instrument I didn't like, and the oboe is no exception.
Nicely played, gentlemen!
Thumbs up if you play the Oboe
Owen Markus just started, I sound like a dying cat

That English horn's TONE is SENT FROM GOD! Lol
HOLY SHIT UR RIGHT
This is true talent. I have this downloaded to my ipod, and i literally listen to it every night before I go to bed. I'm absolutely in love with this. :]

That english horn playing is absolutely marvelous!
I've been learning to play the oboe for one year and a half. My goal is to play so perfectly. This is amazing
Bravo Oboe Family. We are missing the oboe of love!
Un trio talentueux, sans aucun doute. J'ai toujours admiré le son du cor anglais, sans pouvoir y jouer. Le hautbois 1 et 2 jouent magnifiquement bien. Un grand merci pour cette splendide prestation filmée.
I play the oboe but I need new reeds. Mine look like a mouse nibbled the corners and now my oboe doesn't sound like an oboe, but a dead seal
Ba Deum Aaron Lackota makes good reeds!! Look them up online, they’re reasonably priced and are of good quality!
This is one of the best live performances of Beethoven's trio, which I could listen to and appreciate in the last twenty years of my life as an oboist!

I wasn't aware the oboe could sound so sonorous and pleasant. Beautifully done, thank you for posting this.
I just started playing this year and I absolutely love it. I think I love it more than my clarinet..... Which I have been playing for 4 years now.
celeste bell same here I switched from piano and my life has completely changed and now revolves around my oboe. Funny how music can change your life.
Yeah music is what has saved me and most people

I love playing piano. Been playing since I was 3 and I am 15 now. It is an amazing instrument
Im probably gonna learn the bassoon next year as a secondary instrument so excited
Enchanting! Evan after ALL those hours of practice, still putting in the energy and emotion.. So amazing! Thank you so much!
Nice to see Beethoven appreciating Mozart pieces.
absolutely wonderful playing. I play in the USA, The english horn player bravo.... that was the cleanest and most gorgeus sound on the fast variation. All three of you sound tremendous
I play the oboe and english horn. Must say those are truly wonderful instruments! :)
How similar are they? If you play one can you play the other without much fuss?
NOT aaron jin for the English horn, are the fingerings the same? because I play oboe but I really want to play the English horn
Mr. Taco Loves Art yes it's the same ;)

Never a note out of place! You'd have no idea how wildly difficult double-reeds are with your ease of playing.
Simply gorgeous composition and an equally gorgeous, sonorous performance. Especially the English Horn player.
First 5 notes on the first oboe, just heaven.
O my God, what an elegant, refined sound!!! *-* Such a sensitive and inspiring playing...sooo passionate...it definitely goes into my favorites :D
Love this Eng. Horn.He is very expressive!!!!!
