Woodwinds: French vs. Viennese playing styles.

[Fabio Biolcati]

Hi all.

I'm looking for adding VSL English Horn to my rig, yet I'm not sure about which one is the right one to fit my taste.

I love the sound of it in the works of Finzi, Delius, Warlock and so on. And Mahler's, by the way.

It's a french or a viennese one that I'm listening to in this case?

Hi Fabio, That's a great opportunity to point to our "Academy" section, where the [url=http://www.vsl.co.at/en/Oboe/Two_Worlds_of_Sound]"two worlds of sound" of the oboe[/url] are described. Best,Paul

Thank you for your reply, Paul.

Infos from VSL Academy are a useful starting point.

I will try to guess the playing styles from the recordings of my beloved Authors.
