Bassoon Concertos
Bram Van Sambeek
As Bram van Sambeek writes in the liner notes to his new disc, bassoonists consider Mozart's Concerto in B flat major the absolute pinnacle of their repertoire. A man of great contrasts himself, Mozart recognised the potential of the bassoon as a vehicle for expressing a wide range of moods and attitudes - from the joking and playful to the dreamily tuneful. Another composer who showed a special understanding for the instrument was Carl Maria von Weber, whose Concerto in F major doesn't come far behind Mozart's on the list of all-time bassoon hits. But as all bassoonists would agree, that list is on the short side - compared to the piano or the violin, the bassoon has been sadly underused by composers.
