André Jolivet (1905-1974) established his love for composition from a young age. This remained throughout his life and he held the post of Professor of Composition from 1966-1970 at Paris Conservatoire. Concerto for Bassoon was composed in 1954 and remains highly regarded. Jolivet himself a cellist wished to explore composition for all instruments and therefore has a considerable number of works in all fields. The composer's style is also known for its spirituality and the desire to associate the everyday with the magical and the human with the universal. Jolivet draws on acoustics and atonality asheard in his Concerto for Bassoon. The piece requires high virtuosic skills due to its expansive use of extended techniques. For all advanced bassoonists Jolivet provides an exciting alternative piece for the instrument's repertoire.

Bien que Bertold Hummel a composé ce Scherzo pour basson et orchestre de chambre il ya plus de cinquante ans, la pièce captive encore chaque auditeur avec sa jeunesse, la vivacité sans soucis. Virtuose et pleine d'esprit, il fait honneur à son titre à tous égards. Il a été créé en 1957 par commission rogatoire du Kleines Unterhaltungsorchester Südwestfunk Baden-Baden. La partie solo des quatre minutes de morceau de concert avec l'indication de tempo 'molto allegro' était fait sur mesure par Hummel pour basson Helmut Böker de l'orchestre.En plus du matériel de location, une partition de piano avec partie solo est maintenant disponible à la vente. / Basson Et Orchestre De Chambre
