If you haven't been having any fun lately,kick off your shoes, sit back, spin this CD, and sing along with your favorite opera arias. Whoever came up with this idea for a CD deserves at least a Grammy or a Palm d'or for imagining it, and these two masters of the bassoon and piano deserve even more credit for making the impossible seem as natural as drawing and releasing a breath. This is not only great fun, it is a prime example of how years of practice, discipline, devotion and sheer love of music can lead a player to perfect command of his instrument.
