    Congrats to him! What Russian oboe players are eating because so many principal players/famous oboists are Russians? E.g. Ogrintchouk, Podyomov, Izotov and now Godik..

      Russia produces tons of talented classical musicians, not only oboists.

      I wondered the same thing.

      Why is the Russian School of oboe playing surpassing the French and American schools?

      Is Putin a closet oboe player?

      Sasha Krimer (not principal but 2nd Concertgebouw)

      • Axl says:

        Yep, but he’s actually originally from Belarus (not Russia) and grew up in Germany. And his (long term) teachers isn’t reprecenting Russian oboe school
