Title: An unfortunate waste of recording technolog
Product review: Smith does all bassoonists a disservice by presenting his playing as worthy of an international audience. If you want excellent recordings of Vivaldi concerti, and there are many stellar recordings by true masters of the instrument, try Sergio Azzolini (he plays on a reproduction period instrument with a "historically informed performance" group, L'Aura Soave). Compare the two on youtube and you will never again be tempted by Daniel Smith's preternaturally persistent and misguided self-promotion project.
