HARP

Single notes, octaves, gls: major & minor.

Comments: Solo instruments (no ensembles) played largely without vibrato by members of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra.

Standouts: The low-pitched instruments -- double bass, cello, tuba and bassoon -- all sound strong here. I used the staccato bassoon in a TV theme in preference to others from far more expensive volumes.

Quibbles: None. Good deal.
