i’ve been listening to this on repeat as i’m learning the 1st and 3rd movements and i have never heard an oboe be played this well. i’ve known so many oboists but no one compares to how she connects every note almost like a string player. she’s amazing
Learning these two on clarinet too and this is an absolute reference for me. You're right she connects notes perfectly. And this is a huge thing to manage on clarinet too. For big intervals, some pros "cut" the air in order to avoid some weird glissendo and it's done in such a short time that you hear legato notes.
Amazing expressivity and tone, and seemingly effortless. Absolutely inspring. Actually, these Schumann videos with Ms Moinet made me take up and practice on my instrument again after a long hiatus.
A beautiful sound, great beauty of phrasing, seemingly endless breath control, a perfect instinct for the mood of this composition. Bravissimi to oboist and pianist alike.
I agree with what others have already stated: Celine Moinet has THE BEST tone / sound production on this magnificent instrument. She makes the oboe sound absolutely captivating. Her tone is gorgeously smooth, velvety, lush, serene. HOW does she do this?!? And her musical expression, intonation, and dynamic range are second to none. Just wonderful!
I definitely prefer everything from Celine Moinet - tone, musicality, phrasing, dynamic range. But if I had to put it down to one single thing it would be her incomparably beautiful, angelic TONE!! I've never heard an oboe sound so beautiful.
@@Xingqiwu387 have you ever listened to Francois Leleux? He plays on the M2 Marigaux oboe and his tone Is similar to Celine's one but he hasn't recorded Schumann's romances yet :(
@@dariodellamico2823 Yes, many times, and I'm especially fond of his phrasing. But in terms of tone itself, Celine Moinet takes the absolute TOP PRIZE. No one compares.
A couple things here. On the video you can see the oboist breathing at 0:40, 0:48, 1:26, 1:37, 1:44. After that, I gave up looking. People who haven't played the oboe think that the amount of breath needed in phrases matches what it would be by voice. The oboe is lyrical like singing and singing he experience most people are familiar with. So I guess that is probably why assume it carries on to the oboe. But not so. The oboe is conical which is very efficient at projecting sound while using every little air. From a physics standpoint, is a lot of air sloshing *back* and as well as out, so there is a lot of pressure the oboist experiences in playing. More so than in the larger bigger bore instruments like the saxophone, bassoon, English Horn, Oboe d'amore or even the baroque version of the oboe. As an experiment, while playing the passages, I exhaled into taking a (cylindrical) soda straw. I chose that because that is about the size of the opening on the top part of the oboe. The soda straw offers much *less* resistance than what you feel on the oboe. I then tried whistling, and still could could not get it to stretch to 18 seconds. (I can hold my breath for about 45 seconds but it is uncomfortable. Basically something the size of a coffee stirrer or maybe those narrow plastic tubes like you find on WD-40 aerosol cans, are more like the resistance one gets. Look at the opening of ua-cam.com/video/i7qR9WTN328/v-deo.html and you can see the oboist playing the entire time and notice how he does the first entire passage of about 18 seconds in one breath. That passage is about the same length 18 or 19 seconds. When the teacher is singing the same passage notice how many breaths takes for half of the passage. The breath thing, distracts from the parts that I think are notable and unique in the performance. First, this tempo is a little slower than many take it. But it feels right here - more like a romance between the oboe and piano. What I find amazing is how both performers change tempo and dynamics in lock step. A clear example of how the two work in harmony as one I think can be heard at 2:39. Listen to how the bass line of the piano in contrary motion to the ascending line of the oboe mesh nicely together and how both crescendo into that line in sync. As with ua-cam.com/video/MFPKXMERZjM/v-deo.html a very nice performance with ensemble and performer working together well. (The opening passage there is 12 seconds without a breath, but the Oboe d'amore is a larger instrument so the air flow out faster.
How beautifully can an oboe be played? This shows how! Wonderful, masterful, very beautiful. Thank you!

If you like the way she plays, that is perfect, I recommend listening to Leleux, he is the best.
Pol Riubrogent thank you so much for the recommendation!! i’ll have to give him a listen :)

This encourages me so much to get better and better at this instrument

su interpretación es sumamente maravillosa, me deja muy conmovido
Divine performance!!!
Merveilleux!
Celine Moinet has what is probably THE most beautiful tone of any oboist alive today. Simply stunning.
Came here from Albrecht Mayer's video. What u think?

@@fidel9102 I have, many times. But I still PREFER the sound and tone quality of Moinet.
Blissful!🙏🙏🙏
merci pour ce partage :)
Pięknie nagrane wcześniej szkoda tylko że film udawany
Waouhhh !
I train this piece but this was just amazing. The legato is very hard...
Wonderful!
Lindo!
WOW
Lol where was this when I was auditioning with this? Amazing brilliant I love oboe
Невероятно красивый и сложный инструмент.
Kocham dźwięk oboju...
I can't find the name of the excellent pianist anywhere in this post.
It's Florian Uhlig :)
@@BerlinClassics Thank you for the information!
uau...
Amazing interpretation! On my channel I have the piano accompaniment of this great piece
ホリガーを彷彿とさせる...。
Doesn't the pianist have a name?!
Florian Urig.
Uhlig
Too bad all the breathing was edited out. People do in fact breath.
Dude it’s not!
