François Devienne (1759 - 1803) ~
Sonate pour un Basson avec un accompagnement de basse, op. 24 No. 1 ~ Inga Maria Klaucke, bassoon & Alexandra Nepomnyashchaya, fortepiano
00:00 I. Allegro
05:16 II. Adagio
08:00 III. Menuet avec des Variations
Playful airiness, virtuosic brilliance, wit, charm, emotional depth, lyrical poetry and rhythmic finesse - the bassoon sonatas by François Devienne (1759 - 1803), Parisian contemporary of Mozart and himself a celebrated virtuoso on flute and bassoon, display a splendid variety of affects perfectly tailored to the bassoon's expressive character, which in our rendition is further enhanced by the beautiful colours and dynamic flexibility of the fortepiano.
This is 'Hausmusik' and 'divertissement' in the best sense: A jovial and sophisticated pastime at a musical home; anecdotes, gossip and heartfelt story telling amongst friends and kindred spirits, which you as listeners are cordially invited to share and enjoy.
