I now present a companion piece to the fabulous recording of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Bassoon Concerto in B-flat Major, K. 191 that I posted here a couple of years ago. This, rather than presenting a daring performance, give s a behind-the-scenes look at the classical world: it presents a daring audition. This contrabassoonist has some very… shall we say ‘interesting’ interpretations of the various orchestral excerpts he has been asked to prepare.
