Weber, Mozart & Hummel: Bassoon Concertos

This recording combines all the major works of bassoon repertoire written between 1770 and 1830, with Mozart's magnificient concerto as the undisputed masterpiece of the entire repertoire. He was able to bring the full range of bassoon's possibilities into play, making use of its entire tonal range in the opening movement, with semiquaver passages, glorious cantabile sections and maniacal trills. Matthias Rácz, probably one of the best bassoon players of our generation, present this work as well as the two concertos of Hummel and Weber with the greatest of ease.
