        The Pittsburgh Chamber Music Project gave a thrilling performance last night, starting with two pieces by Piazzolla. Arranged by members of the group, they let each musician shine, and shine they did. This was followed by an Elvis sighting in the person of bassoonist, David Sogg. "Dead Elvis" by Daugherty is a challenging piece for solo bassoon, backed by trumpet, violin, clarinet, bass, percussion, and trombone. Elvis definitely is not dead; he rocks! This was more fun than you're supposed to have at a classical concert. The highlight of the evening (already filled with highlights) was Stravinsky's "L'histoire du Soldat", narrated/acted by Michael Butler. The difficult and dramatic score was beautifully played by the same interesting group of instruments. The ensemble was perfectly balanced, the sound was full, and the reading by Mr. Butler wonderfully evocative. Let's hear more from this group, which combines brilliant playing with innovative and interesting programming. Collapse
