Customer Reviews:

Even my kid likes this!.......2005-11-07

This is an amazing collection of songs, all performed with such skill that even my 8-year-old son likes this CD. Brahms and Beatles, Mozart and Ellington, there is something here for everyone. And thank you, thank you, thank you for "Bassoonist's Holiday."

Bassoon Me!.......2004-08-09

I delight in the bassoon! What a unique and great sound, throaty and thrillingly coarse, yet soaring to sound at times like sax, like oboe, like cello, like a bunch of bassoonatics!

This is delightful collection of musical styles played by this innovative and talented quartet. Choosing to select pieces that are not typically of the bassoon repertoire, we go from Waltz to Gershwin to Broadway to Motzart to Lennon/McCartnye to Sibelius to most of us unknowns such as Mitchell Clarke to Duke Ellington.

All played with passion and gusto and excellent tonality, phrasing and tempo.

Bassoon Me again!

Brilliant Bassoonastics.......2003-09-27

This would have to be the best bassoon ensemble cd on the market. The arrangements are stylish and clever, and the performances brilliant! Fraser Jackson must be the most accomplished contrabassoonist I have ever head. This cd is a must for any bassoonists collection be you amateur or proffessional.

OUTSTANDING QUARTET.......2002-04-14

This disc is really superb!!! Not only is the playing at an extremely high level by the group, the arrangements are also outstanding. The Brahms is abolutely beautiful. The group goes from lightning fingers bravura to sweet soulful singing. It is a joy to listen to again and again.

Simply fantastic!.......2001-10-26

I simply love the Caliban Quartet! They breath new life into bassoons! The way they bring out the music is simply magical. Not only do they sound good, their technical abilities are simply amazing!

Customer Reviews:

Tetzlaff is supreme, even if the whole performance isn't.......2007-01-16

To hear Christian Tetzlaff live is to be mesmerized--his ability to color the violin's tone is unmatched today. Perfect intonation, total control over bowing, and amazing sensitivity in phrasing are hallmarks of his style. Here he gives us all that and more; no one since Vengerov in recent memory plays the solo part with such hypnotic concentration, but Tetzlaff's style is more restrained and lyrical than his great Russian counterpart. Like Joshua Bell, he is poetic and never plays an ugly note, but Tetzlaff is less precious and self-conscious than Bell can be.

I wish he had had a better conductor than Dausgaard, who gives a straightforward, robust account of the orchestral part without finding any insights on the order of his soloist's. Salonen and Cho-Lin make a better team on Sony, as do Mullova and Ozawa on Philips. But Tetzlaff is too great an artist to pass by; I'd rank this reading along with Gidon Kremer's on budget EMI, where Muti is also dull in the accompaniment.

The rest of this generous CD is filled out with incidental pieces that Sibelius (a failed professional violinist as a young man) wrote for violini and orchestra. Each is pleasant, a few are memorable, but Tetzlaff is the whole show, really
