The Origins of the Modern Bassoon!The passion of the two men who created these legendary instruments comes vividly to lifeKarl Armenleder, who laid the foundation for the modern bassoon, and Wilhelm Hermann Heckel, who expanded the renowned Heckel workshop. This is a precious album that traces the legacies of these two renowned instrument makers through their works. In Armenrieders *Duettino* and *Duo*, the rich tone and technical prowess of the bassoon are fully showcased, unfolding a lively dialogue between two equal partners in a duet. Furthermore, the album includes My Thoughts, the only work Heckel composed in 1946. It offers a glimpse into the musical sensibilities held dear by the creator of the legendary Heckel bassoon. Featuring masterful performances by Michael Kauratz and others, this album vividly conveys the history and charm of the bassoon.MDG
