Orchestra

The oboe is a woodwind instrument. The sound of the oboe is created when the upper and lower blades of the double reed vibrate against each other. This excerpt of Jan Adamus performing movement II of Joseph Reicha's Concerto for Flute on the oboe demonstrates the sweet sound of the oboe in the middle register. The performer accentuates the simplistic and natural beauty of Reicha's phrase through consistent timbral quality, utilizing air support to drive the phrase forward to completion.
