      The music on this well-balanced program was so enchanting that I forgot the discomfort of the overheated hall (due probably to a thermostat's being set too high for the warm night). How lucky I felt to hear the ensemble's rendition of Handel's "Suite from the Royal Water Music" and of Tchaikovsky's "Andante Cantabile," plus the achingly beautiful performance of Debussy's lovely "Petite Suite," not to mention the lively accounts of two compositions by Harold Skelton ("Serenade for Double Reed Winds" and "Comic March for Double Reed Ensemble") and of Nichaus's "Swing Shift" in Dewayne Pigg's arrangement, with which the evening concluded on such a supremely happy note! The oboes sparkled like diamonds in the golden setting of the bassoons, and the low frequencies of the contrabassoons thrilled me to the base of my spine. The euphoria lingers with me this morning, and this review is my way of saying thanks to all the members of the Nashville Double Reed Ensemble. Collapse
