According to The New York Times Bert is "America's leading oboe recitalist" (a field no doubt crowded with singles of competitors), so who am I to argue with the paper of record?

Still, this may be the only time you'll see the words "sensual", "soulful", and "oboe" in the same sentence without the words "completely" and "not".

1. Elegie

2. Pachelbel's Kanon

3. Polovetsian Dances

4. Theme From Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto Number 2

5. Aranjuez (Mon Amor)

6. Shubert's Serenade

7. The Pearlfishers

8. Londonderry Air

9. Romance

10. El Condor Pasa

11. Playera

12. Barcarolle

13. Loving Eyes

14. Estrellita

OK, after a couple of listens, I have to admit that this is not bad: kind of cinematic, and good late at night.
