Boddecker / Rossini / Saint-Saens / Sambeek Bassoon Kaleidoscope CD

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.
