5.0 out of 5 stars Top bassoonist and arranger, March 18, 2005

By 

John Iverson (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Israeli Wind Virtosi & Friends (Audio CD)

This disc wins 5 stars from me because of Mordechai Rechtman's playing and fantastic arrangements. His sound, musicality and virtuosity on the bassoon is second to none. A must for any bassoon fan. (There are not that many of us, I know.) As for the other musicians who play on the album, it's a "hit or miss". Some of the string players are not up to par, in my opinion. The arrangements sound very natural and really bring out the beauty and ability of the bassoon and the clarinet.
