This is very true. My bassoon teacher was Kathleen Reynolds and she came =
back after that recording and raved about how effortless he made it all =
sound. She also had her son, who was maybe 6 at the time, show me the =
present that "Mitchell gave you." I was a first year masters student and =
I still remember thinking that her little boy got to spend that kind of =
time with Mitchell Lurie! I was completely jealous!!=20

More about that recording....

The Reynolds family had a long standing relationship with Mitchell. =
Michael
Reynolds is the cellist with Muir....Kathleen Reynolds is principle
bassoonist in the Dallas opera orchestra and is the Professor of bassoon =
at
UNT and Terry Reynolds plays 4th horn in the opera orchestra and is an
adjunct professor at UNT. Terry and I were roommates at North Texas many
years ago. The Reynolds family talked Mitchell into doing this recording =
and
it's good for us they did....

Michael Reynolds founded and owns EcoClassics. All proceeds from EcoClassic=

recordings go to the benefit of "nature"....a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit.
