5.0 out of 5 stars A Tree In Your Ear, October 3, 2000

This review is from: A Tree in Your Ear (Audio CD)

This is a "must-have" for music lovers - especially those who enjoy the beautiful tones of the oboe and english horn. This CD is a diverse mix of styles that presents newer (but very accessible!) composers as well as those that are more established (William Grant Still and Alan Hovhaness, not to mention the "Saltwater Blues" by jazz great Yusef Lateef...) all brilliantly performed by Stephen Caplan who has a list of credentials and awards too long to list. Satisfaction guaranteed!

Steve Caplan and his oboe do great things for ones' ear. It is the talent of Dr. Caplan that makes this CD work. The entire music is based upon oboes having a "conversation" with different animals in the forest. It is great for relaxation. Go out and buy it.....

Dr. Caplan is a professor at the music department of the UNLV. He is also part of the Las Vegas Philharmonics. He is an accomplished musician.....

(VINE VOICE)    (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)   

This review is from: A Tree in Your Ear (Audio CD)

What a gathering together of sounds including oboe, english horn, flute, piano, percussion, harp, bass, and synthesizer.
Even frogs, crickets, coyotes grace this CD, making it a calming and excellent listening piece.

All focused around the well played DR's of Caplan.

Especially enjoyed the William Gtrant Still miniatures and the Ysef Lateef blues number.
