CD Reviews

Perfect recording of these lovely pieces

Thomas H. Moore | Philadelphia, PA | 06/23/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I bought this recording really in order to study these pieces, with a view to playing them someday soon (I play the bassoon). What I really appreciate about this recording are (1) the tremendous sense of ensemble that the players have, and (2) the nice alterations in tempi between the and within the movements, from an exciting allegro that really moves along to a genuine, slower adagio. I've heard other recordings of 3 of these pieces (haven't heard another one of the Rondino), and all of them tended to sound either too fast overall (maybe to squeeze onto one LP?), or like a consort of soloists who each sound wonderful, but don't sound as much like a real ensemble as these players. Just my opinion..."
