While the bassoon is often given a 'role' as either gruff grandfather or comical drunk, Weber gives us joility and seriousness. From the beginning the bassoon almost bounces to centre stage while the concerto's ending is pure exuberance! Composer: Carl Maria von Weber Performers: BBC Philharmonic Orchestra Performer: Karen Geoghegan (Bassoon) Conductor: Juanjo Mena Recording date: 19 June 2012
