This program showcases the many colors and moods that the bassoon is ideally suited to creating. The music ranges from the early Baroque sonata of Boddecker (1651), to Saint-Saens's witty, elegant late sonata (1921), to Hagen's remarkable Harlem Nocturne (1939). This album is truly a tribute to the bassoon's versatility.
