since there are very few recordings of him around. Unless you listen to early Philadelphia recordings (78s), you won't hear much of Tabuteau. Even on the early LPs--by the early 50s, Tabuteau was frequently absent from the orchestra due to health problems, and so de Lancie had to sub for him.The best chance to hear Tabuteau, ironically, is on amateur tape made during lessons by one of his students, the Danish oboist Waldemar Wolsing. A CD of it is included with the Laila Storch biography. Listen to it if you get a chance--Tabuteau's sound, and especially his phrasing, are magical. I would take that sound over ANYTHING one hears today.
All of the big-name oboists I've ever talked to over the years, such as Mack, de Lancie, even Still, were quick to point out how mesmerizing, how truly unique Tabuteau's playing was in person (the 78s don't do him justice). There will probably never be another oboist of his caliber, at least in the orchestral field.
