Leleux Making an oboe reed

Watch Leleux make a reed from scratch and finally playing Strauss Concerto on it. Leleux doesn´t like to complicate things too much, and that can actually be a great help in this process. He shares all the details about cane, equipment, scraping and much more in this short but very informative video. Recognised throughout the world as the best oboist of his generation, François Leleux enjoys an international career appearing with major orchestras and at important venues and festivals performing repertoire from Baroque to newly commissioned works. François Leleux has worked with leading conductors such as Pierre Boulez, Mariss Jansons, Sir Colin Davis, Myung-Whun Chung, Daniel Harding, Thomas Dausgaard, Wolfgang Sawallisch and Alan Gilbert.
