ELEGANT BASSOON
Dedicated entirely to the baroque bassoon, The Elegant Bassoon features a rich variety of repertoire dating from the earliest days of the instrument’s existence, until the period in which the classical bassoon took over. Bassoonist Wouter Verschuren, who is currently principal bassoonist of the Amesterdam Baroque Orchestra, and Concerto Delaborde here present the instrument in exciting unusual ensembles, like bassoon and traverse or viola da gamba. The reason that these combinations of instruments were not used often in the past, lies in the fact that traverse and viola da gamba favor keys with sharps, such as D major, whereas the bassoon favors keys with flats, like F major. This album includes six world premiere recordings.
