Captured

Loved it

Well, if you play this you will hear some bassoons. But you will think you are hearing other instruments being played. Very interesting how musicians can make the bassoon sound like many other instruments.

This group is fantastic. Fun to listen to at home or in the car. Bought another CD of theirs for my sister.

This is just a terrifically fun, inventive recording, featuring world-class performers playing truly innovative and interesting arrangements of a wide variety of music, from the cute and fun to the sublime and serious. You gotta get this CD!

Sometimes, even bassoonists need to be a little silly, and this fits the bill!

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 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 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.

The Bassoon Brothers Strikes again with this truly whitty bassoon music. Numbers such as Hey Jude Yankee Doodle arranged with such skill to bring out the fun in Bassoon. Buzzying reeds with percussion likes which you have not heard before. If you like fun music then this is for you.

Arrived quickly, no problems

A thoroughly entertaining continuation of the madcap humour of the Bassoon Brothers! Excellent.
