Astonishingly good rendition of Saint Saëns’ lovely farewell piece written three years after the end of WWII in 1921, his final year, (played on a German rather than French system) with such light fluidity - nostalgia, sorrow and yet longing hope - such tender lyricism and fugitive Beautifully sung through Appears effortless Exceptional technical mastery Exquisite (Close to Fauré’s piece for bassoon, Jolivet yet to emerge) Superb accompaniment Merci infiniment ! Paris 🙏🏼🕯🕯🙏🏼
Your ability to reconcile the Pythagorean temperament with the piano temprament is spot. Such a clear bell-like tone that is very woody and dark. Thank you for sharing this. I studied this with Frank Morelli at Manhattan School of Music in 2002.
BRAVO :-) It was a clear-last-note-High-E-crack away from a literally and figuratively FLAWLESS performance. DAMN that last High-E note Saint Saëns :-)
I'm using my school's bassoon, which means after I graduate, I wont get to play it. I just hope there would be a website or company that rents out bassoons (with a cheaper student price haha)
Fiendishly difficult because unlike say piano or guitar or even any Boehm instrument you have to precisely tune every single note using muscle memory in you mouth and abdomen. Beginners always get stuck with broken instruments that don't play at all.. A good beginner instrument is $6-$10,000. A top of the line professional model is well over $30,000. You have to make your own reeds, own all the special and expensive tools to make reeds, buy the cane which is expensive. Then you have to spend the time making reeds. Each reed can take hours of adjusting and refining. Not only do you have to practice, you have to make reeds. Oh and your knives must be sharp so you have to spend time sharpening your knife.
pieces are meant to be listened to and not watched tho :) and i think movement adds emotion and freedom enabling the artist to express themselves completely through the pieces..
If you would see an Actor acting "To be or not to be" with any movement what would you feel? When you say to your girlfriend or boyfriend "I love you"... your voice, your eyes, your movements would not be naturally expressive? So Music is love, is expression, movement, ... and - fortunally - the human beings move spontaneusly when the experss their feelings...

Just wow.
Theo Plath is the single reason I got motivated to practice daily.
Just on another level
Theo is just amazing...
if you're wondering where theo is rn. He is with the Hr-sinfonie orchester as their principal bassoonist in frankfurt land
He'll probably end up at the Berlin Philharmonic!
Amazing how well the Bassoon and Piano go together.
Very beautiful and expressive performance!Well done!
This is one of my favourite musical works!

@@sarubobo6027 there are websites, but they’re limited in their bassoon selection for rentals.

5:09 This sounded microtonal.
I like the piece, but the needless moving around by the players is very distracting. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

I couldn’t agree more - although Theo is amazing.
this is a pointless comment
