"I have to give Smith credit - he's done a great job of recording much of the lesser known (or at least lesser-recorded) repertoire of the bassoon.Unfortunately, that's about where my reccomendation ends. Smith seems to take pains to avoid phrasing, accuracy, and tasteful vibrato. His intonation is inconsistent, and his tone quality, while not completely offensive, lacks the polish and sheen found in the great artists of today.Again, the only praise I can give to Smith is his expansion of the recorded bassoon repertoire.Look at Judy LeClair, Bernard Garfield, David McGill, or Kristen Jensen for truly superlative playing."
