Bassoon

 

The bassoon has some great soloists that model exceptional sound and technical ability. Below is a short list of some great places to start. Remember that nothing beats live music, so go to see the local symphony orchestra and to college wind ensemble concerts close to you.

Chris Millard: French Recital music
Claus Thunemann: Vivaldi concertos
Dag Jenson: Anything
The album, Cafe Palermo, for lots of great jazz bassoon.

Thank you to bassoonist Jim Lotz for the great musical recommendations!
