In Reply to: Picking up from CB, an original hautbois sounds sufficiently different. posted by Timbo in Oz on March 13, 2011 at 23:18:29:
If you're interested in reading further about the early history of the oboe (and a whole lot more) that Timbo touches on, look for the "The Oboe" by Geoffrey Burgess and Bruce Haynes, Yale University Press, 2004.
Geoffrey is an enormously gifted young Australian/American oboist and historian who also has several wonderful CDs (playing hautbois) to his credit.
Disclaimer--I'm proud to say that Geoffrey is a personal friend, so I hope that doesn't negate or diminish my recommendation. It really is a wonderful book and worth seeking out.
Another worthwhile book is the excellent Marcel Tabuteau biography by Laila Storch, Indiana University Press, 2008.
