While stocks last...

The contrabassoon orchestral repertoire as you've never heard it before! (Or perhaps you have.)

Cyril Stapleton + his orchestra playing Elephant Tango was my first disc. A long time ago. A joyous intro to the world of trombones and the contrabassoon.

More recently, playing celesta in Mahler 6, sat between the contrabassoon and harp. Weird.

Contrabassoon concertos, anyone ? Roger Smalley, Donald Erb, Gunther Schuller. . .

Mozart's Sonata for Cello and Bassoon, played on the Double Bass and the Contrabassoon.  Smiley It's been done once to my knowledge, but not in public.

But the contrabassoon may never be the same again:
