About
Once Upon A Time: Live in Avignon, recorded at Avignon's Theatre des Halles in August 1994, presents Eberhard Weber's unique approach to the solo recital. The album sees the bassist balancing compositions from his albums Orchestra and Pendulum with a vibrant rendition of "My Favorite Things" and his own "Trio for Bassoon and Bass", revealing fresh aspects of his distinctive musical diction.
Reviewing one of the bassist's live shows the year this album was recorded, the Financial Times marvelled at Weber's musicianship, insisting that "it is hard to imagine that anyone else could play what Weber plays".
Condensed into a concise programme, Once Upon A Time: Live in Avignon captures the essence of Eberhard Weber's solo performance.
