Masterful arrangements

Marco Brenner | New York | 06/25/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I bought and listened to the Israeli Wind Virtuosi & Friends Vol 1 / Rechtman CD. I was amazed at how well these original arrangements by M. Rechtman work out. Particularly the Haydn. I'm very familiar with the original Haydn oboe concerto. This arrangement for bassoon and string trio actually improves the original piece. Harmonies are richer and the structure is tighter, yet the arrangements remains very much in the style of a mature Haydn. The bassoon playing on the album is outstanding. The phrasing and tone quality are truly one of a kind. I highly recommend this CD."
