As part of my research for part 2 I found the following videos useful:

These are a series of master classes by members of professional orchestras, such as the Berlin Philharmonic and London Symphony Orchestra, about their instrument to introduce a series of audition excerpts for when the YouTube Symphony Orchestra was set up.
Not only did these videos show off the tone colour of the instruments introduced in section 2, there are also videos for other instruments in the woodwind family, such as Cor Anglais, Eb Clarinet and Piccolo. It's interesting to listen to the professionals talk about the difficulties of playing the excerpts, despite making it sound effortless when they play them.
There are also other videos for most instruments in a symphonic orchestra, which will no doubt useful when they are introduced later on.
