Mark Weiger proves on this disc that double tonguing, triple tonguing, and circular breathing are not ony possible on the oboe but can be done with musicality and panache. "With every 16th note Weiger made the music come to life," said the New York Times about a Weiger performance. "This is indeed a recording for the serious collector: interesting, original, and excellent in every way." Robert McColley, Fanfare "Mark Weiger's latest foray into the wonderful world of oboe music is a sure-fire showstopper. His sound is, as always, sweet and pliant, one of the most luxuriant on records." Ritter, American Record Guide
