frhead Group: Members Posts: 2 Joined: Oct. 2010 Posted: Oct. 27 2010, 07:34 Hello! This is my first post here. Upon listening to Hergest Ridge (my favorite), an age old question re-surfaced and perhaps someone out there can help me. On the first track, PART 1 there are 2 Oboe players; Lindsay Cooper and June Whiting. Does anyone know who plays the first solo and who plays the second solo (one follows the other). Thank you very much. It's a pleasure to have found this Forum Frederic Back to top

The melody of that oboe has both haunted me and blessed my existance on this Earth at the same time! Someone here will find your answer, gauranteed! Meanwhile, it's great to meet another HR fanatic.

As to who/which did what? no mention. Perhaps more will surface with this thread.

Karl Jenkins is an oboeist too, and he got some really wild noises of that otherwise un-rocking instrument. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

Blasphemy! I was convinced of the oboe's rock 'n' roll powa after hearing Penderecki's Capriccio. That was neat! Penderecki is propably something for me. How can one know what classical music is worth listening to when there are no cool band names and groovy sleeves to give you a hint?   Lars T -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top
