Doubling is putting an additional player on a single part, for purposes of dynamics and/or tone quality. IOW, the bassoon parts in a piece written with bassoon 1 and bassoon 2 parts could be doubled by putting 2 players on the bassoon 1 part and another two players on the bassoon 2 part - 4 players in all, rather than just 2.
One recording I know of which doubles the horn parts in thrilling fashion is Previn's early Strauss LP with the LSO.
