Thank you for the feedback. The Nielsen was certainly a challenge but a great piece to play.

“The music is in the air. Take as much as you want.” Sir Edward Elgar’s words are particularly apt for his sublime Romance for Bassoon; an atmospheric, hot air balloon ride on a still summer's day.

What makes Elgar's Romance for Bassoon so effective is its masterful orchestration. The soloist floats above warm strings, gentle woodwinds, horns, & shimmering harp.
