It’s around 32 seconds in. I watched the entire clip in case it reappeared, but if it did I didn’t spot it.

[Moderator note: Off-topic posts moved from here. I’ve rearranged the posts as best I can, aiming to put them in timestamp order, but this post — being the first in the thread — is stubbornly stuck at the top.]

A beautiful piece that I last heard quite a long time ago, this rendition being particularly good. Thanks for posting the link!

This video features a lady playing a bassoon, but there is a lady in the orchestra playing an oboe.

I watched the entire clip in case it [the oboe] reappeared, but if it did I didn’t spot it

I see it at 14s, 31s, 1m42s and 3m32s. The gentleman player is almost immediately behind Andre Rieu.

Thanks, Geoff. I blame André Rieu for letting his hair get in the way!
