“Many players got well-deserved bows afterward the horn section, even the contrabassoon, who supported his smaller brothers with assurance.”
“...the warmly, deliciously outspoken bassoon of Daniel Beilman...”
“Yet, as in the Martinů and Piston, the musicians were at their best in the music’s more energetic movements. The Scherzino featured finely wrought oboe and bassoon playing from Alicia Maloney and Daniel Beilman respectively, and the buoyant finale was clear, crisp, and charming.”
