History:

Henri de Busscher was principal oboist in Los Angeles Philharmonic from 1920 until 1948. De Busscher’s playing was described as “delicate and expressive, with a marvelous singing quality about it. His long, sensitive phrases were a marvel. His cameo-like tone was endowed with a warm vibrato…with a subtle and singing control over his oboe.” (Conductor Walter Susskind).
