MAGNIFIC , IS SUPERB, WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE !!!!! UNICAL SERGIO AZZOLINI !!! I LIKE YOUR SOUND AND INTERPRETATION !!!!!!!!!!!

[@olgavasileva5691]

Браво!!! Спасибо Сергею и оркестру за наслаждение прекрасной игрой.

[@slakva.school]

Блин, обалденный концерт. Солист молодец, и музыкально, и проникновенно, и чувственно, и технично. Иногда звучит как саксофон, иногда как габой и др. супер!

[@manlioerta7221]

La voce del bassoon/fagotto è una voce bellissima e inimitabile; se spesso viene utilizzato come basso di accompagnamento nelle orchestre, da solista ha nei fiati (con ancia) una voce morbida e cantabile come (mi si passi il paragone) il violoncello nei cordofoni. Il brano è definito concerto, termine vago che deriva da concertare (certare più cum =combattere con,o suonare con). Ha più l'aria di una sonata ABCA', oppure semplicemente ABA' se uniamo il rondeau all'allegretto. Nel secondo movimento (largo) Rossini rivela la sua vera natura di depresso, con melodia molto triste. Sergio Azzolini è formidabile per interpretazione, per tecnica e per il "certare" con l'orchestra, a sua volta di alto livello. Grazie per il bellissimo ascolto

[@RafikCezanneTV]

An excellent version! Lively and spirited, a most uplifting work. Thank you for posting.

Wonderful playing ...Thank you, lambda music, a lot for the upload ...Bassoon: Sergio Azzolini

[@chris9kris]

I've heard a lot of interpretations but this one is the best by far. Every note is so well played it makes you one with the music and the bassoon is like a singing voice

[@constantquestioning4010]

Entirely agree. Operatic in the greatest sense

[@gilbertpangyarihan8014]

Azzolinis Fagott klingt erstaunlich solide in den tiefsten Lagen. Zertifiziert intergalaktisch! 🌹

Dziekuję za piękny koncert na fagot Rossiniego bo dotychczas moja znajomość twórczości ograniczała się do opery Cyrulik Sewilski

Bravo e superlativo Sergio🌞🌞🌞

[@markmccarty9910]

What - the mature Rossini wrote a bassoon concerto?! How did I miss that? Azzolini's performance, to no one's surprise, is superb. Check out his recording of Hertel.

[@Anton_Schusler]

Well, to be fair it's slightly debatable whether Rossini wrote this alone, with others or not at all, but I'd like to believe he at least was a part of it. :-)

[@Pawel_Malecki]

Azzolini himself discovered the manuscript in 1998.

[@StuartSimon]

Gary Allen Semiramide, from 1821, actually still sounds like this.

[@StuartSimon]

Anton Schüsler After listening to this, I believe it may be culled from three unfinished projects. This concerto begin and end in different keys at a time when progressive tonality in a symphony, sonata, or concerto was virtually unheard of. Compare this with the exactly contemporaneous Stabat Mater, which is consciously and deliberately anchored in G minor.

[@bassoonistdonggue1639]

Azzolini's playing is indeed amazing. I also thank you for the great suggestion of Hertel, you've introduced me to another bassoon gem! Now you know what I will be listening to for the whole week now!

Absolutely breathtakingly wonderful! Such mastery and resolution of technical challenges to achieve such a clear vocal through line as it were as distinct from ornamental wit and embellishment… effortless, free, spontaneous, always surprising and passionately « operatic » in the best sense of the word … Bravissimo maestro ! Merci de tout cœur pour nous révéler la beauté de cet instrument si riche, surprenant, à la fois romantique et theatrically tragi-comique 🙏🏼

OMG that passing semitone at 11:18, so wonderfully unexpected. The slow movement is perfect. A bit too perfect for Rossini's not-so-chromatic writing.

[@artfuldodger4850]

Seventy plus and I have never heard of or even knew that Rossini wrote a Bassoon Concerto, do you think if I requested our commercial classical station to play it, it would happen. Two chances, unlikely and none😂. But seriously, this is seriously good and you can’t beat a bit of good bassoon playing to cheer me up.

[@sheldonbazinga3985]

J'écoute ce concerto pour basson de Rossini et, sous le charme totalement, je me demande pourtant ce qui s'est passé pour ces compositeurs italiens du XIXe siècle pour que leur musique instrumentale reste aussi belle et riche alors que leurs oeuvres vocales sont devenues brutalement insipides et caricaturales...Je regarde, incrédule, le monde entier s'enthousiasmer pour tous ces opéras italiens de Rossini, Verdi, Bellini qui sont creux et grotesques (et je pèse mes mots)...Cette atmosphère semi-délirante de ténors qui s'égosillent vainement avec des attitudes de matamores porte aux nerfs...L'Italie, phare du monde en matière d'opéras depuis le seicento a soudainement fondé un style "propre à elle" qui n'évoque rien de plus qu'un succédané Mozartien, puis Wagnérien. Eux avaient vraiment porté au pinacle l'opéra...Si les germaniques ont réussi à faire leurs les styles italiens, les italiens quand à eux n'ont pas réussi cet exploit en sens inverse...Reste effectivement leurs pages orchestrales, du coup insuffisamment connues...

Wie bei Rossini´s großem Vorbild Mozart: Der Opernkomponist verrät sich immer wieder. Könnte auch eine Arie sein!

[@luisagarau638]

In risposta a Sheldon Bazinga....Ho anch'io notato tante assurdità nella storia della musica, considerando , però, non dimentichiamoci che non solo Mozart, ma tanti altri Grandi, pretendevano di imparare da Maestri italiani, infatti le prime opere di Mozart, sono state concepite in COLLABORAZIONE con DA PONTE e cantate in italiano! Ricordiamoci che Mozart chiamava l'Italia la madre o la patria della MUSICA. Tante opere vengono rielaborate da virtuosi. Per esempio..da il Rigoletto, Bella figlia dell'amore per piano, da Lizst,. La casta diva di Bellini per orchestra? E tante altre opere.Il fatto è, che politica, invidia, e religione, può riuscire a influenzare una maggioranza. Una domanda.... Perché Bach viene chiamato il dio della musica? Perché è protestante. Non scandalizzarti( Io leggo dio della musica ANTONIO VIVALDI) poiché ha fatto sì che Bach cambio' il suo stile procurandosi musiche di Vivaldi, che Bach stesso stimava e considerava il più grande dell'Epoca.E così un dio ha avuto aiuto da un Dio. Io da conoscitrice del periodo antiprotestante ,non ho bisogno di sostituire le musiche che conosco con altre.Pur non essendo attiva, trovo che in latino le musiche sacre, possono raggiungere il cielo! Quando ascolti quelle di Vivaldi, non senti certo il bisogno dei quattro vangeli secondo....cantati etc, etc.

[@luisagarau638]

Continua............Ricordati che nel secolo scorso ,chi provocò il boom dell'Opera furono gli Italiani, e il più grande tenore Enrico Caruso, il tenore del secolo, napoletano, che come tale conosceva le canzoni di Napoli, che sono un po' d'ispirazione operistica.Una gran parte di noi italiani,ama l'opera, anche se tanti non le hanno viste dal vivo.

I love this!! :D I want to play the bassoon! Anyone know how a 23 year old girl from Norway can learn this? I already play the flute, but can't afford a bassoon :( Wish I could rent one, but not possible.

[@PoesbeerProductions]

There are international renting companies that rent you a bassoon for a monthly fee. 23 years old is definitely not a problem! I have a collegue who started playing at about that age after finishing her course in flute. So you're no exception ;-) All you have to do, is find a teacher who's willing to teach you (preferably at a music academy) and find a rental instrument (I think most academies do have instruments they rent out for a yearly fee, not sure about Norway) If you really want to play the bassoon, there are always ways to start! if you need or want more info, you can always contact me privately ;-)

[@luisagarau638]

Molti non conoscono le opere di Vivaldi, e tra gli affezionati di KZbin ho letto ( Di sicuro lo stile di Vivaldi è Mozartiano, dunque copiato). Non sapendo che Mozart nacque quasi un ventennio dopo la morte di Vivaldi. Significa che qualcuno ha provveduto a portare avanti l'opera del periodo barocco. Non ci sono trucchi!

Please don't swear! No offense, I think you have only a superficial knowledge of Rossini. I would rule out that Rossini ever wrote, or even collaborated on, this piece. I would rather say that it is the work of a mediocre musician who tries - very clumsily - to imitate Rossini.

[@LucaCanetti]

​@@InspectorJ.Clouseaulook, I'm not swearing at all! But... I have the right to speak, as I am a musician myself (I'm a classical pianist), I really don't care who you fucking are or who you think you'll turn out to be. If you listen carefully, here, in this piece, you can definitely hear ROSSINI. Listen carefully, man. Then you can comment on this thing I wrote.

This isn't by Rossini at all, it's a likely a pastiche of his style by Nazzareno Gatti, a student at the liceo Rossini was honorary advisor to at the time. Awesome performance of the music though, whoever wrote it.

​@@johnbau3571 Famous quote from Rossini on Mozart: "He roused my admiration when I was young; he caused me to despair when I reached maturity; he is now the comfort of my old age." If this was composed in 1845, then yes it would have been heavily influenced by the classic composers he enjoyed into his old age: "Beethoven I take twice a week, Haydn four times, and Mozart every day."
