    Please keep this up. This is the music education that we do not receive in our general schools. You’re creating a good environment for budding classical musicians who want a larger grasp on how the sections work. Thank you ❤️

    I wonder how many people realise how difficult the seemingly easy opening at 11:00 really is. There's real value in these videos. I hope they continue.

    beautiful video.I love how you chronologically go through the use of the WW section by various composers starting from Haydn all the way to the 20th century,
    Inspired me to write pieces for WW section (I am a beginning composing student) Thank you!
    There is nothing like hearing bassoon and oboe etc., play live in a room. The purity of the acoustic sound will never go away. So hang on Philharmonia, you will be back!

    What a fantastic set of musical resources! I'm not a classically trained musician (short of a few years of classical guitar as a child) but I am passionate composer of virtual orchestration with virtual instruments (software). The quality and complexity of virtual orchestral instruments today is profound, but like real instruments they take much practice to master (which is not to equate them with learning the real thing. Both take much discipline and commitment). This channel helps me to develop an affinity with those musicians, such as dynamics, breath control and pacing, legato and other articulations, all of which have their equivalent in the virtual orchestration world and are also fiendishly difficult to control and master to produce a great sound. What a fantastic time to be a musician!

    I've been a "non-classical" musician for about half a century now. My father was a huge fan and had a massive record collection of classical music which I was bought up listening to so the appeal kind of rubbed off on me. However, it hasn't been until recently; since I've been delving into the "science" of virtual orchestration with the incredible sample libraries us mere mortals can get these days and play with on a computer, that I've really started getting into "how an orchestra works". I'm even doing an online course in orchestration with strings.
    This video was excellent. Well presented, interesting and informative and fulfilled an educational need we don't often get in this genre of music. Thank you.

    This is great! Beethoven's 5th spotlighting the woodwind section only? So many superlative examples of playing, and the tips from the musicians, themselves make this video a gold mine for any serious student of music.

    Wonderful video - thank you so much for producing it. What brilliant players and fascinating insight into how they think and prepare. I have just bought a Woodwind sample library and this gives me so much inspiration and so many ideas (which will probably end up sounding like Postman Pat in my composition - but I won't let reality dampen my spirit just yet!)

    Being a woodwind player is an uphill struggle. I can’t imagine the pressure of being an oboist. Making a sound out of your instrument is difficult enough never mind making a beautiful sound. Then once you’ve mastered the instrument to soloist level, something which isn’t asked of string players, finding a job is like finding a needle in a haystack. I spent the majority of my education in some of the top music institutions in the UK and very few of the wonderful woodwind players I went to school with are performing with any of the major orchestras. So tough.

    The Woodwind Family (my opinion)
    Flute: Love it (tied with the bassoon for second favorite instrument)
    Piccolo: Hurts my ears (Really, it does)
    Oboe: Love it (I like the bassoon more though/second favorite double reed)
    English Horn: It’s really nice (My third favorite double reed)
    Clarinet: Love it (My favorite instrument/favorite single reed)
    Bassoon: Love it (My favorite double reed/low instrument)
    Contrabassoon: Eh... (Don’t really like it, I prefer the bassoon)

    Mar.25/2023_somehow back here? @26:00 realized [again] value of this video production. Still must confess my lack of any talent. My recorder; {TENOR} 'gently-weeps' in solitude since I've had to admit humbly the reach 'is' difficult, as so many TH-cam videos mentioned. The thoughts from real professional artists is awesome, details with depth, inside knowledge only players of great caliber, can express clearly. Fabulous.
