I have encountered more two orchestral videos featuring French bassoons. First, Musique francaises:
Musiques francaises
The program includes such bassoon rich selections as the Chabrier España and the Dukas The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
Au programme :
- Emmanuel Chabrier : España, poème symphonique
- Edouard Lalo : Symphonie Espagnole pour violon et orchestre
- Camille Saint-Saëns : Concerto pour violoncelle et orchestre
- Paul Dukas : L'apprenti Sorcier, poème symphonique
- Camille Saint-Saëns : Danse Bacchanale, extrait de Samson et Dalila
Next, l'Orchestre de Paris under the direction of Christoph Eschenbach, who is also piano soloist in 2 Mozart piano Concerti:
l'Orchestre de Paris
Au programme :
- Concerto pour piano n° 12 en la majeur, K 414
- Concerto pour piano n° 23 en la majeur, K 488
The principal bassoonist (playing German bassoon) in this video is extremely animated! I wonder why l'Orchestre de Paris uses German bassoons.........
Sorry but they are no French Bassoon at the Orchestre de Paris. They all play the German system.
