Studio Oboe d’Amore
In the Middle
Like the oboe and the English horn, the oboe d’amore (hautbois d’amour/oboe of love) is a double-reed woodwind instrument, covering the mezzo soprano register. The instrument was recorded in the relatively dry and controlled environment of our second studio, the Silent Stage, and offers all common articulations.

Studio Oboe d'Amore
The term “d’amore” dates from the Renaissance period and is based on the instrument’s warm, lyrical, and mellow sound character that is more comparable with the French horn than the oboe. The instrument is slightly larger (longer) than the oboe and has a distinctive, pear-shaped bell.
Although the oboe d’amore was commonly used in the Baroque era, the instrument was gradually displaced by the English horn and the oboe in later periods.
