Kije of Prokofiev Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Before I start I will state openly anything mozart or carl maria von weber, i will openly flame (I hate mozart's and von Weber's noteworthy bassoon stuff). I'm looking for a piece (hopefully more contemporary) that is for the most part a bassoon concerto with standard orchestra. I've played mozart's concerto for bassoon (K191) and ever since I finished that audition I never want to play it again. Now if I could, I would pick up Kalevi Aho's contrabassoon concerto and learn it right away, unfortunately, the group I'll be with probably isn't good enough to play it. I wanted to get my hands on Proctor's lyrical concerto for (double) bassoon and orchestra but I can't find a recording. Suggestions? I'm trying to find something that is for lack of a better phrasing, dark, emo, modern or in a minor key and is NOT VIVALDI!!!!!!! thanks.

gollum69 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Well 'dark' would defintely NOT put you in the Vivaldi realm!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oboeducky Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 What? what about the vivaldi G minor concerto for bassoon? Have you listened to his complete concerti? I recommend the John Williams, the absolutely stunning Jolivet, the Wolf-Ferrari, the Jacobs, or the Gubaidulina Concerto for Bassoon and Low Strings.
