A pleasant compilation of mostly rather easy listening pieces involving the bassoon, but not as ground breaking as they hope...

It's put out on a disc which is meant to look as if it is a small 78, more backward than forward looking?

I feel bound to point readers (and Mr Kronsteiner) towards Johnny Reinhard's "Bassonist" disc for "where music for bassoon could possbly go".
