Traditional Tuesday: Swan Lake (excerpt) -Tchaikovsky (first 4:30 minutes)

The first 4 and a half minutes of this video features a theme introduced by a solo oboe and then developed in the orchestra. I am so impressed with the soloist's ability to produce and maintain such wonderful sound.  I once thought that playing the oboe was all about the embouchure, I have learned from my teacher that the sound is produced by a constant steady supportive stream of air.
