I love that the bassoonist played an authoral cadenza for the fermata sign as the 18th century musicians did so. Pretty cool!

[@ClarinetMate]

That horn trill at the beginning is everything

[@davemiller7633]

And hard as hell

[@andrewbroady827]

Yes it is! Every trill every sixteenth note. The bassoon is a beautiful sounding instrument. So smooth and rich and soothing i love it!

[@Fumozart]

I love bassoons. I respect bassoonists (and every other musicians as well) 😊

[@dedede5586]

as a bassoonist myself, i'm literally in awe. what an amazing soloist

[@gloomychai]

same! I'm learning this currently and just- it's either flawless or nothing with this piece 😅

[@Dylonely42]

Surely one of my favorite concertos. I love the sound of the bassoon with the orchestra here !

[@retiredmusiceducator3612]

How could anyone write this - let alone back in the day when they had to hand write everything. Unbelievable. And today, we hear it like Mozart heard it in his head. the instruments in Mozart's day didn't even sound this good.

[@Zimzamzoom95]

It's not that hard, just takes practice. Hearing the parts in your head, that is.

[@sivasivapala2486]

I play bassoon and am shocked to see how unbelievable bassoonists could be. I will soon be playing Firebird Bassoon 1 Stravinsky. I am far from there level, wow.

[@andrewbroady827]

Is it really hard to blow into? I love this instrument. I play piano,flute,and tenor sax and want to learn the bassoon

[@ligetimoment2524]

@@andrewbroady827 it’s much more difficult then any instrument you’ve just mentioned, mostly due to the fingerings and of course the double reed

[@gloomychai]

yeah it's a hard instrument lmao 😅 but you got this! and also for the main comment I love firebird I played it and it was so fun and iconic

[@IQSD-zs6qn]

He only write one bassoon concerto but I like it

[@MTMargraf]

there was also thought to be a lost second concerto in G major that would have been written about the same time. He wrote this one after hearing one of Vivaldi's concertos for bassoon when he was in Italy in his late teens.

[@mrbrianmccarthy]

He actual was reported to have written 5---but this is the only one that survived. Too bad, I would have liked to hear the others.

I wonder if Mr. Thunemann & George Zukerman knew each other ?
