    Gustavo Nunez Bassoon - Brescianello

    Giuseppe Antonio Brescianello (1690-1757) Concerto a 5
    Sorry everyone (everyone??? who is everyone???) I've been working a lot lately (we have a serial killer out there and I have to take care of the bodies).
    Here is a concerto for violin, bassoon and strings by Brecianello.
    Bassoon - Gustavo Nunez
    Violin - Walter Forschert
    Orchestra- Lukas Consort
    I bought it some 13 years ago during a trip to Germany.
    The young lad (back then) happens to be principal bassoon with the Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam at the moment.
    Listen to it. It's quite good.

    Hello everyone

    This is a new blog blog about bassoon.
    I'll be posting bassoon music samples as much as I can, but be patient; I have work to do sometimes and can't sit in front of my computer.
