Omg, you again?! You must be REAL insecure to continually bash American oboe playing. Look, American oboe playing is based on subtlety. Albrecht Mayer is German, so he learned to be over-the-top with his form of expression. Hypothetically speaking, if Mr. Wang studied in Germany, he would have the same concept of playing. Furthermore, there is no "way to go" with oboe playing. By the way, having a German sound is not considered a "sensibility." GROW UP. You argue like a child.

There is no way to go with oboe playing. I agree. I just don't like it.
I never said that sound is synonym of expression.

You need to listen to European oboe players. Mayer has nohing to do with USA sound. You need to study more.

are you saying that learning the oboe is pointless? You could be a proffessional obeist, and its a great way to get a colloege scholar ship.
Its just like learning any other insturment, its just the best one out there
Albrecht Mayer has ...( 3 months ago by bmwski0507)
Albrecht Mayer has a "crossover" or "hybrid" sound. His sound is perfectly balenced between european and american. It can be said he has the best of the french (flexibility) and german(dark) schools of playing. Which is.... the american school of oboe playing.

american school of oboe playing... I doubt it. The expression, technique, vibrato is very German.

Tombeau Menuet was sharp, but I like Liang's playing most of the time. Albrecht Mayer is also very good, and German style for oboe has nothing to do with a darker sound or more expression, it's about how they make reeds and how they produce sound. Also German orchestras tune sharper.
That is bull! Oboe ...( 1 month ago by nicole93099)
That is bull! Oboe has heaps more colour than a whole band of saxaphones. Its sound is magical when you hear an experienced player and even the average oboist could not be topped by any professional sax.
well thats not ...( 1 month ago by ondaran)
well thats not completely fair, an avarage oboe player usually doesn't have all that much tone and colour and pro sax players often have beautiful sounds.
That being said, I (as an oboist myself :P) would prefer the sound of the oboe to a sax any day, but it takes a really really good oboe player to create that magical enchanting sound which all oboists search for.

Sorry, someone had brought up that the tone colour of the sax was superior, which is absolutely incorrect.
