Description
Six works, six composers, four premieres: The inspiration for this recording was above all the fascinating way in which the sound of the bassoon can merge with that of the string quartet. In selecting the repertoire, Rui Lopes was guided entirely by his feelings - he simply chose works that he loves to play and that are particularly close to his heart.
"This repertoire might indeed be alien to most listeners, but what a treat to get to know it. Lopes's love for the bassoon is infectious, and this selection of works (old and new) for the instrument and string quintet is very enticing" – BBC Music Magazine *****
