HarrisonParrott have been signing them wholesale this summer. First Thibaudet from IMG, then Perianes from ICA. Now they’ve got for François Leleux, an oboist who’s developing a career as conductor.

He’s married to another HP artist, Lisa Batiashvili.

    Francois Leleux is the best oboist I’ve ever heard. Would be a shame to see him lost to conducting. He should at least wait, like most conductors, until he can’t play anymore.

    Conducting is the way to go for fame and mula. The oboe has the most pitiful solo repertoire outside of baroque music. Playing premieres of oboe and violin concertos is a niche market that they probably have exhausted… There is an adage from baseball that I believe works here
    : chicks dig the long ball…and conductor, too
