Bravi!
Utterly brilliant – Peter is not only a fabulous bassoonist (as we all know), but he’s a fine keyboard player, and then here he shows he can sing both bass and countertenor as well as many who do these jobs (in normal times) for their livelihood. A true musical polymath (and he’s a really nice man to boot). More please, Peter!
