Mozart was 18 when he composed this concert. Amazing! Beautiful interpretation!
he composed his first symphony when he is eight.
Mozart is an alien 👽 that looks like a human being.
AND JUST LOOK AT KIDS TODAY...SMH!
@@jiwbink how about you
@@davidmelton6387 actually he looked like a gerbil. This bassoonist is quite cute though.
The smile of the soloist after a concerto is always so heartwarming. In the grand scope of things, one 20 minute performance means nothing, but for that soloist it means the world.
😂

This is very, very nicely played. As a former professional bassoonist, I can say it's uncommon to hear this level of lyricism and musicality on the bassoon. I put money on it he listens to a lot of vocal music.
This is Mozart played correctly, the soloist is just amazing
As a concert pianist who has played 8 of the piano concerti.. This is one of the most beautiful and well played versions I have heard of the Bb Bassoon. Bravo maestro. Beautiful clarity, and ornamentation as well as fab breathing technique and excellent conducting. Truly stunning.
Hands-down the best recording of this piece I've ever heard. Not only is the soloist amazing, but kudos to the conductor for pulling such great phrasing out of the orchestra. The sound recording engineers did absolute magic on this!
I agree. The conductor did such an excellent job balancing every part of the orchestra and bringing them out when they are important. What a glorious recording!
What a beautiful, mellow, rich sound the bassoon has. I can't understand why there isn't much more music written for this instrument.
Most composers/arrangers think nowadays “oh you can play low on it” so they stick us on a bass line, but orchestral pieces originally gave bassoons a lot more
It is the best wind instrument.
@@albertomartin4812 fun and playful but also lyrical. What's not to love?!
Mozart was truly a genius
And i'm so glad he gave all instruments a chance to shine
He even composed an trumpet concerto, but very unfortunatly it's lost 😢
@@rossini9mozart10 😭😭😭
this was the first concerto I ever learned for bassoon many years ago, it still brings tears to my eyes to hear it.
I have listened to many recordings of this on UA-cam within the past few days. In my opinion this recording is the best one. The soloist is so expressive -- I think he may be one of the best wind instrument performers I've ever heard
Try Theo Plath, too. 🎶He's also great.🎵
As a cello player I have always appreciated the sound of the bassoon. It has that same sweet tenor clef resonance, it's like the wind instrument version of the cello. Few composers can showcase the ability of the bassoon to produce some of the most lovely sounds on Earth quite like Mozart. Love it!
As a cellist, I agree!! I love the bassoon, and I might start learning it soon :)
Mozart had a particular gift for bassoon writing.
You should consider it in the context of his work in bringing the conical woodwinds together with the cylindrical (clarinettes) to achieve the fullness of sound all through the entire register.Had a bloody problem bringing the bitch to sister in law into the fold. The human voice is so individual, that it often clashes with the instruments.
Indeed... he had a particular gift for music in general! ;)
Simon Kawasaki Thanks.
SO TRUE !
I think it's beaucause the range is close to the human voice, and he haved a wonderful gift for voice :)
My mom is a bassoon player. Still teaches and plays now into her 70’s. I grew up with this piece. Will forever have a place in my heart. Wonderful soloist.
❤
Solo's are very demanding and Motzart didn't make things easy. This guy is awesome, as are they all. Encore encore.
Questa. Interpretazione ti manda in estasi.
@@sergioscoccini3704 un poco exagerado, no?
Mozart and Aligi a perfect duo...they understand each other... Bravo for this epic performance...rare and perfect !
This bassoonist is amazing!! I had the 3rd movement as my bridesmaids/groomsmen processional at my wedding, October 28, 1993 at St. Anthony's Church in Streator, Illinois. Sadly, the bassoonist could not make it as his father was admitted to the hospital that morning. But, our organist, Jean Drendel, played it very well! I had to order it from a publisher in Germany and it took from July to October for us to receive it. It was very worth it! I have never suggested it to be played at any other wedding since....it's a special memory for us!
Im sure they dont solicit your approval.
For years now, my school has not had a bassoon player in years. I decided to pick up the bassoon and I am having a lot of fun! Thanks for this terrific recording.
Same for my school. Not any bassoon players for years, but I chose to be a bassoon player and just begun for about 3 weeks now. Only learned 3 notes, but I so far love the bassoon!!
Ugh, UA-cam plonked an ad in the middle of this. How ridiculous. Goes to show UA-cam has no taste of music. You, kind sir, are an amazing player, playing an amazing concerto. WOW!
I mean, at least put it at the end of the video...
Ain't capitalism grand?
I know nearly nothing about classical music. I just love listening to it. This one is particularly amazing and i can listen to it everyday... bassoon is very smooth ...i just love it.
It is clear that the soloist is loving being where he is and what he is doing. His smile before his performance made my heart smile.
His sound is astounding. I can't get over how perfect his vibrato is.
Magnifique Mozart, magnifique soliste , magnifique orchestre ! Un très grand bravo à eux !
Beautifully played by the bassoonist, I just keep coming back for more and I don't understand the thumbs down I can only think they have no appreciation of a well played piece .
I don't understand the thumbs down either
thumbs downers clueless and jealous! amazing performance...
peter pepper there are some paltry, shallow souls who do nothing but go from site to site to score off, ding a site for no reason other than their own bad attitude
Those thumbs down people have no conception of the genius of Mozart-exceptionally played,one of my favourites,have watched this hundreds of times.
Sounds so lovely and rich. My first time hearing this Mozart Bassoon Concerto. Mozart was so masterful in composing for this Instrument (also). He displayed it's full range of sounds and also the technical ability of the Bassoonist. Well done Mr Aligi Voltan. Thank you to all the other excellent musicians and Conductor too. Loved the third movement especially.
Gorgeous work! I am an opera singer and my 11 year old son chose to pick up the bassoon this year in beginning band. I did a search and found this video. Ahhh! Heaven...and you play magnificently. I absolutely adore singing Mozart, and this is so much like his arias.
I'm a Wynn ensemble bassoon player this is stupendous good luck to your son in his band
I hate to break it to you, but I am a 14 yr old bassoonist and I can promise you and your son that there are many hours of long tedious work. What is even more annoying is that unless you have serious connections with people in the music industry your son will not get the chance to play publicly for a while. Otherwise I encourage your son with my utmost support, the bassoon has brought me so much happiness in the three years that I have played it.
+Occasionally a nerd I forgot to mention that beginners band is fun for bassoon but not challenging.
Don't forget, arias were originally instrumental.
Everything Mozart wrote was operatic, you could take any concerto or aria of Mozart and either sing it or play in on an instrument
Mozart concertos are like sativa for the soul. I never stop being energized. Wish he'd written more for both bassoon & clarinet.
Mozart’s music is the most beautiful gift of mankind ever.
The praise to the great bassonist isn't even necessary - he really shines and is one of my favorites - What makes this piece fantastic is that Mozart (the GENIUS!) was able to compose a piece where the main actor is not the orchestra - it is the bassoon.
Fantastic in ALL aspects! I hope everybody has also loved this 🙂
Wonderful piece and great bassoonist! Love to hear it over and over again
the man deserves a medal for taking such songs from this difficul instrument.
A fine performance and very elegantly played with grace, poise and an appropriate amount of panache for a concerto. Why have we not heard more of this solist?
it is a great performance
Frank Dominic Benke well said. Amazing performance.
He's a young player in a provincial Italian orchestra that isn't exactly world famous. There are very few solo opportunities for bassoonists in general, so even those with major principal orchestral jobs are little known outside of the bassoon world.
Beautiful!!! Amazing sound, Aligi thanks.!You,are the best bassoon player I ever heart in my whole life..I'm now 75.
Wonder if they'll ever find the two concertos for bassoon by Mozart still missing? One in F Major & the other in C Major are definitely known to have been written as commissioned works.
Mozart was epic. He was on the level of Einstein and this guy is amazing!
And Einstein loved Mozart´s music as well 🙂
The difference between scientists and artists: scientists discover, artists create.
Man, started bassoon in September last year. Still have a LOOONG ways to go lol. But this literally sounds amazing. My bassoon skills sound like a dying cow compared to him.
Me piacciono molto questa musica clasica
con fagotto. Bravo!
and my oboe skills are like a dying duck ^^
*****
Die Übung macht den Meister!
It's all good, I've been playing bassoon for about 7 years now, and I can tell you right now, focus on fundamentals. It will save your life later on. Mozart is a very difficult composer for Bassoonists.
ExocinGaming
Weil Mozart in seiner Musik meistens sehr spielerisch ist! Er ist in seiner Art unvergleichbar.
Riascolto periodicamente questa bellissima esecuzione,ed ogni volta è più bella! Grazie Aligi!
Love this performance! I have never mastered standing and playing the bassoon - he makes it look so natural.
Played this for my freshman year recital at Baylor University and nearly passed out towards the end! Fun to play albeit challenging...Mozart is pure genius!!
beautiful basson playing
Great performance! You have a great sound and style. I used to play oboe and I feel the double reed instruments have the best sound of all the woodwinds..
Wonderful piece, its twists and turns of harmony are truly exceptional. From major to minor and diminished chords, and perfect timing and pauses, emphasizing certain parts of the piece with great emotion. Truly great.
Bravo.. that was amazing. The distinctive sound of the Bassoon is so heartwarming. Loving it..
SOME GUY: “Bassoon concerto? Nah, that’d be boring.”
MOZART: “Hold my beer.”
What about the bassoon concerts by Bach, Vivaldi, Weber and many others?
@@joguess87 Boring
Ahhhhhh really, really makes one want to learn bassoon, doesn't it?
Do it.
Hannah Mae uh-huh .
Yes.. Very much.
Hannah mae,
Why?
Once you start playing, you'll never want to stop. Definitely one amazing instrument
Absolute amazing player! Such a beautiful sound, vibrato, tune! Bravissimo!!
It's exceedingly nice to watch someone handsome while listening to music so well played.
Bravo sir! Magnificent bassoon player. I am a bassoonist myself however my instrument was on loan from a music service so I haven't played since leaving for university. I really miss it.
It was the same for me. I finally got a bassoon of my own, used, in my late 30s. I loved to be able to play it again, and I hope the same can happen for you. But you don't realize how strong your chops have to be to play until you haven't played in a long while!
Absolutely beautiful! Pure tone, wondrous intonation, and nothing less than perfect musicality! This guy has the greatest chops on bassoon that I've ever seen!
One of the best performances of a wind concerto I've ever heard in my long life. Bravo. Exemplary artistry, technical polish, and utmost musicianship. The orchestra is superb also. Truly exceptional from beginning to end. No wonder it has a million views. Stunning on all levels.
Mozart... wonderful, as always! My thanks to Aligi Voltan, G.B. Rigon, and the members of the Orchestra del Teatro Olimpico di Vicenza.
This is excellent! The sound pf the bassoon is beautiful! So talented this guy!
amazing sound and performance. Bravo!
One of my favourite pieces. Played beautifully. Bravo!
i always come back to this video its so beautiful every time omg absolutely breathtaking.
Thanks: My Brain needed this.
Mozart is the Greatest.
Bravo mr Voltan. This is a fantastic rendition of this concerto.
fantastic performance Mr. Voltan.
Very lively, great control, lot's of expression, love the part starting 5:19
One of my all time Mozart faves. Love this concerto. Brilliant performance!
Most wonderful - composed it when he was eighteen!
Bravo Aligi! My 11 year old son just started playing bassoon and you are truly an inspiration! I migliori auguri
Does your 11 year old son (18 now in 2021 lol) still play that beautiful n amazing instrument?
It is incredible how Mozart's music gives me life. I went to Salzburg in 1999 and when I was in Mozart's birth room, I felt that my entire life had been accomplished if I die right there.
Fantastic interpretation of Aligi Voltan! A great musician!
the more i hear it the more i realise that it is an outstanding performance , performed by such an young orchestra so brilliantly and enthusiastically . mozart's music bridges so many centuries and so many continents . internet and youtube have greatly facilitated it .
The best interpretation of this piece ive ever heard. Perfect style of articulation and dynamics. I love mozarts concertos. Bravo sir.
Un bel équilibre soliste orchestre.Encore une composition originale du grand Amadeus très réjouissante à écouter comme à jouer . Merci pour la diffusion.
I am just starting to play bassoon and this guy is above and beyond what I could ever do!!
Bravo super concert d'Aligi Voltan
Super bien joué
Cordialement
Jacques
I have to play this bassoon solo for my all south jersey audition and ive only been playing bassoon for a year, RIP me
Bravo! I've never heard a bassoon sound so musical before! Beautiful! John in Texas
When I started playing in the USA back in 1985, we had to order mine from Germany. Had never heard a bassoon until my own. Glad to see how it's caught on so younger generations can play it.
... este o carare pe care merita a merge in cautarea acelui sunet care poate exprima cel mai fidel tacerea inimii! Exceptionalul concert mozartian este interpretat maiestru de acest baiat! Felicitari!
... is a path that deserves to go in search of that sound that can express the most faithful silence of the heart! The exceptional Mozartian concert is masterfully performed by this boy! Congratulations!
Absolutely magnificent. Such lovely tone and intonation. Fist class performance. Well done!
extraordinary! My wife was a bassoon major at BGSU (1st chair) in the late '60's and will appreciate this performance. Bravo.
his trills end articulation are beautifully graceful. very difficult to not make this piece sound strained.
Beautiful playing! I am appalled at the way your bassoon bends to your will! I am a clarinet player but because of the inspiration I have received by the hands of this virtuoso I have made one of my life goals to play the bassoon!
I absolutely love that Bassoon it sounds extravagant. I am the only Bassoon player at my school and I am thinking about playing in the Minnesota Orchestra. Bassoons need more recognition for their wonderful sound. So, if you taught Bassoon, then teach it! If you played Bassoon, then play it! And finally, if you are thinking about playing an instrument, then play the Bassoon!
we can trymaking basson out of aluminum
This is wonderful; thank you for the upload. I recently completed a piece for Bassoon and Violoncello with MuseScore; great program: those that like Bassoon and the occasional Cello please give it a listen... and maybe even a like:)

Love, Laughter, Love
i too am the sole bassoonist at my school, and i couldn’t agree more!
i’m interested in playing the bassoon as a violinist and bass guitarist, i’m 14, will i find it exceptionally difficult?
@@cassidywalcott6102 I started bassoon when I was around 12 (I am now 17), and I think it is just like any other instrument. It is not exceptionally hard to learn, you just have to put in the time and effort.
I love that the cadenza (first movement) truly shows off the remarkable range of the bassoon.
Alibi is truly an artist. Great tone and master of the keys. Congrats Aligi
My appreciation of the bassoon grew when I shared a house with a bassoonist during our postgraduate year. I love this concerto. 💕🎶
this musician so obviously loves the music deeply rendering the Master's notes into the sound poetry that is uniquely Mozart
AND GOOFY OLD ME WAS THINKIN HE WAS JUST NERVY HOPIN NOT TO MESS UP,LIVE WHILE BE RECORDED...
@@jiwbink Please - the guy is almost dancing with the bassoon in hand
Beautifully played by a sensitive young musician.
EXTREMELY PERFECT ! ! BIG, BIG, THUMBS , FOR THIS GREAT ORCHESTRA ! VOLTAN, THIS ADMIRABLE BOY WANTS TO CRY, IN THE SECOND TIME ( MIN. 6 30 ) IN THIS CONCERT, I THINK HE WAS DEEPLY TOUCHING TO THIS CONCERT, AND HE WAS TRANSFORMED HIS ENTIRE BEING, INTO A GOD ! BLESSING FOR YOU VOLTAN ! !
Le fin du fin, c'est quand la pratique de l'instrument paraît à ce point aisée...!
Bravo, Aligi, et Merci à vous !!
Arguably one of the most lovely pieces Mozart wrote and wonderfully played here.
Mastered interpretation so divine I want it with me every day during my monotonous contribution to my daily routine. Masterpiece!
Wonderful! Great soloist. A joyfull player. One of the best Mozart playing on non period-like instruments. Compliments to the conductor for his phrasing and musicality.
It's really encouraging to see that there's still young people who appreciate classical music!
..not enough of them..
The world needs bassoon players from everywhere.
Especially from the countries whose leaders seem to be proud of the fact of no reading books.
complimenti! In un deserto musicale come quello odierno vi sono ancora virtuosi che fanno apprezzare la VERA MUSICA.
The way Mozart carries the melody through the Bass solo instrument [the Bassoon] is just breathtaking. Mr Voltan has Mozart in his fingers [and his breath].
This has a wonderful healing effect and a great panacea of the soul
Small symphony orchestra big performance, that young soloist was excellent at the time, now 8 years later I'm sure he is the master of masters of his specialty, all beautiful, all perfect.
One of my favorite concertos. Thanx so much for sharing your hard-won ability. Beautiful!
Very nice. the bassoon has such a rich sound.
Adoro come suona le cadenze e l'intero concerto. Bravo signore Voltan !!
From one bassoonist to another....BRAVO!
Mozart è genialmente sublime e questa fantastica interpretazione gli rende veramente onore!
0m00 Allegro
6m33 Andante ma Adagio
12m34 Rondo: tempo di menuetto
But don't skip a single second because this masterful playing of a phenomenal piece 🙂
This young man happens to create beautiful sounds from his bassoon. Not only can he produce lovely tones, but he is very, very adept ! He is playing with a lot of expression and creativity. BRAVO Mr. Voltan! I did once try very hard to produce sounds like this! Believe it it is not an easy instrument to master!!! And this young has done it IMHO! Thank you so much!
No instrument is easy! They all have their quirks! Things done well need talent and practice.
I alsolike a lot the same concert with the Viena philarmonic, slowr thougb but very cool to. These italian orchestra is faster, more for youth .
Im from da Hood - one word - figgin EPIC - the Best version i heard so far.
Complimenti al solista. Fa cantare lo strumento con una voce splendida e sa dare un'espressione brillante e perfetta! Bravissimo!
