Sophie Dervaux - Vivaldi: Bassoon Concerti (Offizieller Albumtrailer)

In her professional career, which takes her all over the world as soloist and member of the Vienna Philharmonic, Sophie Dervaux has the good fortune to be surrounded by music in all its aspects. Her great love since childhood, however, has been the music of the Baroque: “I think it’s the greatest of all.” No wonder, then, that the bassoonist had the idea a while ago of expressing her first love on record and making an album of works by great masters of the Baroque from Telemann to Handel. Sophie Dervaux would never have dreamt that the fascinating idea would turn into a project of massive proportions. “Somewhere along the way, this Baroque project turned into a plan to record all Antonio Vivaldi’s bassoon concertos,” she says without false modesty over what she has taken on. She never was one to shrink from challenges, as one can easily attest from her impressive biography. How else could she have climbed so many pinnacles at such a young age - whether as an instrumentalist or increasingly, of late, on the conductor’s rostrum. Her complete edition of Vivaldi is admittedly, as Sophie Dervaux will confirm, a prospect of Everest: a holy mountain, if you like, surrounded by a mystic aura both for bassoonists and for their audience. It represents the core repertoire of a man who can justly be counted among the most astonishing phenomena of music history.
Robin Peter Müller, leader of La Folia, and Sophie Dervaux had met at a festival some years earlier, become firm friends on the spot and just as spontaneously resolved to make music together as soon as they could. The bassoonist, who regularly breaks new ground as an interpreter of contemporary works, saw the encounter as a stroke of luck, particularly as she noticed that they had many things in common. Sophie Dervaux is enthusiastic: “What I appreciate in La Folia is the willingness to really seek out art and sometimes go to the limit.” Already immersed in the music of the concertos she is tackling next, she looks forward to the later phases of the Vivaldi complete edition - with the orchestra slimmed down as before. “There are eight of us in all,” says the bassoonist, who is very much taken with the overall freedom and flexibility of this formation. The musicians are in perfect harmony, both musically and personally. “This was the nicest recording I have ever made,”, says Sophie Dervaux. Their enjoyment is audible for all listeners to the album.

Recommended by Apple Music weeks before, so as a aficionado of baroque I added it to my library. Now it’s released and it is superb, Sophie’s playing is sublime with nice continuo flourishes.
