Expand your expressive capabilities with the Horizon Series French Oboe. The French oboe's sound and playing characteristics are noticeably different than the Viennese Oboe and this edition will give you additional variations for the diversity of the overall sound. During the recordings the Vienna Symphonic Library team gave their utmost attention to capturing the lyrical and expressive vibrato that you'll find in the extensive Legato Performances. In addition to the French oboe equaling the quality of instruments from our Pro Edition in scope and detail this collection also includes bonus instruments: an English horn which is close in character and makes a wonderful complement to the French oboe; a small clarinet in Eb; and piccolo runs.
