5.0 out of 5 stars
Best bassoon quartet ever!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Feast (Audio CD)
The second CD by the Caliban Quartet is a "must-get" CD for bassoon lovers! The music in this album is very different unlike their first album. We get to hear the voices behind the beautiful instruments! I've to say my favourite track in this CD is Bill Douglas' "Jewel".

This review is from: Feast (Audio CD)
Often I listen to Canadian radio, for a different perspective on news and entertainment, and they play a lot of Canadian musicians which I otherwise wouldn't get to hear. Case in point, the marvelous Caliban Bassoon Quartet from Toronto, which was featured earlier this week. I've always loved the bassoon, with its expressive and harmonically complex voice (Lindsay Cooper of Henry Cow, Brian Guilland of Gryphon, Susan Nigro). So deep joy to be introduced to a whole quartet of talented bassoonists, "playing all the good parts" where "you can never be sure who it is playing the lead at any one time." There's even a contrabassoon in most of the tracks, a wonderfully weird instrument which sounds like a phlegmatic goose with congestive pneumonia! Add piano and percussion to most tracks and you have a thoroughly entertaining disc.
