Very cool! Now let’s hear Free Bird.

Incredible playing! Sadly I won't get to see your performance at IDRS. Do you think you will take part next year? I'd love to see you perform in person and maybe even meet you.

Apart from the astonishing display of virtuosity this is also very helpful for anyone wanting to write for bassoon, because you can hear the complete range and judge perfectly where the instrument shines and where it strains.

Can’t wait to finally meet you! Nice! 👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘

Impressing playing!

Almost no one writes works for bassoon

Im sorry for ever touching a bassoon T_T

so, sqeaking in tune, got it

Nah I’m good gang

Wow, to play these massive jumps for bassoon is insane!! Congrats to you as an amazing arranger and bassoonist, I hope to play this someday!

"Stuff you will never need to do" (as free improvisers drool with hunger for more) Bravo!

Bravo Kristian! I use a Heckel…. 😂 nice video!

Bassoon workshop better located in Arlington Heights IL

I thought scientists had recently proven that you can't play this that well on the bassoon.

As technically and musically impressive as this is, it really demonstrates that this music was NOT written for the bassoon :)

Okay, it's official--bassoonists are the craziest musicians around.

You can count the frequency at this point...

Victor wooten of bassoon 😭

bro whoever put the treble clef change MID SONG is evil as hell

Very interesting piece with Indian character

I wonder if it’s possible to do the Dvorak cello concerto on the bassoon

i like your scarf. You look good

When do you breathe??

Stunning and Brave 😳🙀❤️

This is absolutely wonderful!

Pls help need tutorial

1:30 Do you think there are any C# - D trills using this alternate C#? That would come in handy for the Pierné C# D with the B appoggiatura

Hm.... I have strange feeling, that I have to pay for that info... 😅

U should show how to do vibratos

What is your favorite note to play on a bassoon mine is G8

One of favorite things when talking/working with a new bassoonist is the small little quirks they picked up that you never knew existed. Be it reed making/adjusting or fingerings. What a truly unique instrument. Thank you for these. A great yet humble gift, Kristian.

what a legend

Nice to be the first comment on the first short of this bassoon legend

I'm allergic to the sounds of string instruments. 😂 This sounds better

I was looking for some sort of indication on what speeds are possible for the bassoon (for composing) and this was very helpful. Thanks! :)

it seems to me that the coda of the Hungarian fantasy in tempo 210 is more difficult to play than this passage

You should make a video with helpful tips to reach all the high notes

czcams.com/video/3JqocSaArAg/video.htmlsi=oSEcHIyUROY94Mm3 If you can give me a little more background about the other 5 uses of Lithuanian songs. A composer D. Lapinskas mentioned that about 10 years ago. Unfortunately he has passed away.

I hope you don’t mind, but here is a performance of the Lithuanian song.

sir you're good

I never new my smoke alarm beeped at Ab!

Sounds like a jackhammer.

Excellent video friend, I would like to ask you what you think or if you know the Venezuelan bassoonist Andrés Riera?

I struggle with those on my clarinet ☠

I'm a self-taught composer and was wondering how fast the Bassoon can realistically be played for a piece I'm working on, so I literally found this video searching that. The answer is impressively fast and agile, much more than I even realized. Thanks for this video, I love the bassoon and you sound great! :)

your trill is the best, but my old Schreiber and Sohne bassoon give me true trill with H-hole covered, its tonally very good but sound a bit worse

Beethoven's manuscript is the equal to a doctor writing.

I was expecting to not even hear it. Lol

If you want to know how would it sound with the whole orchestra check it out on my yt channel. Thank you Kristian for rescuing this bassoon excerpt.

thanks for sharing - I like your nonchalance on the topic! :)
