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. Bassoon Me! 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!  for more information click here OUTSTANDING QUARTET 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. Even my kid likes this! 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." Simply fantastic! 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!  for more information click here reviews: page 1, 2 Tracks Three Preludes: Allegro Ben Ritmato E Deciso | Three Preludes: Andante Con Moto E Poco Rubato | Three Preludes: Allegro Ben Ritmato E Deciso | Eight Waltzes, Op. 39: I (Tempo Giusto) | Eight Waltzes, Op. 39: II | Eight Waltzes, Op. 39: III | Eight Waltzes, Op. 39: IV | Eight Waltzes, Op. 39: V | Eight Waltzes, Op. 39: VI (Vivace) | Eight Waltzes, Op. 39: VII | Eight Waltzes, Op. 39: VIII | Little Suite From The Tempest, Op.109: I - Prospero | Little Suite From The Tempest, Op.109: II - Ariel | Little Suite From The Tempest, Op.109: III - Miranda | Little Suite From The Tempest, Op.109: IV - Caliban's Song | Three Postcards: L'ange Verrier | Three Postcards: Faunesse Dansante | Three Postcards: Les Noces Du Duc De Joyeuse | Madrigal | Sonatine No. 1, Op. 67: I - Allegro | Sonatine No. 1, Op. 67: II - Largo | Sonatine No. 1, Op. 67: III - Allegro Moderato | Gigue, K574 | Bassoonists' Holiday | I Got Rhythm | I'm In The Mood For Love | Caravan | Oh!
