JAURÉS LAMARQUE PONS (1917-1982): Concertino de Verano for Bassoon, Strings and Percussion, KEES OLTHUIS (b.1940): Capricho for Bassoon and Strings, SOFIA GUBAIDULINA (b.1931): Concerto for Bassoon and Low Strings, HEITOR VILLA-LOBOS (1887-1959): Ciranda das sete notas for Bassoon and Strings.

Description: We offer this for lovers of the bassoon's lyrical and melodic qualities which are to the fore in both Dutch composer (and Concertgebouw bassoonist for 35 years) Olthuis' 18-minute work from 1997 and in the Uruguayan Lamarque's Concertino (1975) which receives its first CD recording; its three movements (a Milonga, Tango and Candombe), totalling just under 12 minutes are as delightful as they unfortunately are brief. Gustavo Núñez (bassoon), Members of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and other artists; Ed Spanjaard, Kees Olthuis. SACD hybrid.
