The legend says that this recording needed two takes only, because of a mistake of the pianist... True or not, this recording stays a absolute reference in the large discography of Saint-Saëns' sonata.
Unfortunately, fewer and fewer bassoonists champion the Buffet instrument. It has a unique tone quality, and so much literature was written with that quality in mind. Allard was such a fine teacher and musician.
Beautuful underrated piece
This sounds so different on the French model. Tone was very jarring to start, but it fits the piece very well. Allard was such a master.
Chef d'oeuvre...❤
❤Beautiful Piece❤

Still lots of piano mistakes in the "good" take! And it's not a difficult part.
It's ridiculously easy. An accompanist's dream! @@premanadi
@@philzmusic8098 Yes, even I can play it!
Heavens, a mistake!
