Music reviews of Captured! The Bassoon Brothers
Music Review: Great second CD
Rating: 5 Stars
Bassoons are cool! I am in 7th grade and have been lugging a heavy case containing a four foot long wooden instrument that resembles a bedpost from my house to school and back almost every school day since sixth grade. Why go through this hardship? Because the bassoon has a nice, low woodwind sound and can also play a wide variety of music (if you can get over the stereotype that it only plays the boring parts in classical music) as the Bassoon Brothers have shown in both of their CDs. They are some cool dudes. They not only play a cool instrument, they play it well. Their songs are cool. You may not like all of them, but you should be able to find several that you like because they play such a wide variety of music. They've got jazz. They got classical. Traditional. Polka (pizzicato polka to be exact). Opera. Rock. Even what I would call hard rock (playing "Purple Haze" on a mighty cool electric bassoon). My favorite songs are "Londonderry Air", "My Girl", and "Louie, Louie / Roll out the Barrel" (from "Captured") and "Bewitched", "Hall of the Mountain King", and the awesome bassoon solo "Red River Valley" (from "Wanted"). What I like most about the Bassoon Brothers is their unconventional method of getting more people to play bassoon. Unconventional, but good.I like this new Bassoon Brothers CD a lot. The Bassoon Brothers (and sister) have really outdone themselves on "Captured". I would say this is the best instrumental music I have heard. It is hard to choose between their first CD, "Wanted", and and their second "Captured", though. All in all I think "Captured" is better. Those crazy bassoonists (in a good way) have also added to their repertoire of musical instruments in this CD. Now they have an electric wah-wah bassoon, soprano sax, and tenoroon. I might have missed some, so there may be more than that. I must stress again how much I like this CD.
Description of Captured! The Bassoon Brothers
The Bassoon Brothers first album "Wanted ? The Bassoon Brothers" was called "Just plain hilarious" by the Seattle Times., and "a sort of all-bassoon version of the Canadian Brass" by Audiophile Auditions. It quickly became one of Crystal's best-selling albums and very high on Amazon's sales list. This second CD is at least as entertaining, with riotous takes on well-known classical, popular, and movie tunes. The quartet is the bassoon section of the Oregon Symphony in Portland and are on a mission to save the 'oons from extinction. Bassoon, contrabassoon, tenoroon, and tromboon ? all are now a little safer.Classical CDs
