"Whether you’re a connoisseur of the bassoon or simply bassoon-curious, [full moon in the city] is a must-have. . . All four concertos spotlight the lyricism the instrument is capable of producing."
-Mike Telin for ClevelandClassical.com
"At eight minutes, the [Hindemith] Bassoon Sonata (1938) is the shortest of the wind sonatas, but George Sakakeeny inflects each note with character and direction, making the most out of the music. The second movement is a highlight of the album. Howsmon's relentless treatment of the march combines with Sakakeeny's effortless lyricism to create a wonderfully intrepid mood."
