I have been playing the alto recorder for a year now. This book taught me a great deal about the instrument. What's even better,
the book carefully introduces the repertory and where to find and read about it.I am delighted to learn that I will never run out of material to play.
The book is written with care, verve, and love. However, the reader is assumed to have considerable knowledge, to know without explanation, for instance, the implications of wide windways and bores, and narrow windways (p178). The history of the 20th century recorder revival, of great interest to contemporary enthusiasts, is brushed off twice, as "described and discussed in several publications." Fine, then why not this one? This should have been dealt with more carefully. The illustrations are very poorly reproduced. I am still suffering from eyestrain from trying to find the recorder in Plate 27.
Overall, though, this is a book any recorder player will want.

I'm not wild about audiobooks. I don't like having someone read to me. On the other hand, I love radio shows, both old-time radio and the modern BBC and CBC productions. When I'm on the road, there's nothing better than listening to radio shows on audiotape.
"Four Card Draw" is not a radio show, but it's not simply someone reading a story. It's an "Audio Dramatization," a sort of hybrid. You get the first person narrative of the story teller, but the dialog is dramatized with actors. Not quite as good as a radio show, but good enough to have me going back for more.
