Another waltz from Francisco Mignone's Music for Solo Bassoon - Sixteen Waltzes: Valsa - Chôro. As the title implies, this waltz is in the style of a chôro, a kind of Brazilian street music named after the Portuguese word for lament.

A waltz from Francisco Mignone's Music for Solo Bassoon - Sixteen Waltzes. Mistério... (Quanto amei-a!) - Mystery... (How much I loved her!) - is a piece I've been coming back to for several summers in a row and I've finally made a good recording of it. The set of sixteen waltzes this comes from are great (though often challenging) works for solo bassoon. There are several others that I'd really like to take the time to get as good as this one.

Composer Michael Goldman's new CD, Suite of the Swarm, a collection of Starcraft II inspired electronic music, includes a track that features me and guitarist Brad Gunson called Adrenal Rush. The CD is available on CD Baby, iTunes, Spotify, and others and my portion of the audio was recorded with my acoustic bassoon pickup.
