    Just wonderful, really. A fantastic display of this instrument's range and capabilities. The arrangement makes use of all ranges of the bassoon and showcases it's unique tone in each register, then uses that to great effect. I can't give enough praise to the musicianship and dedication to this arrangement, well done.
