Works By Debussy/ Saint-saens/ Boulanger/ Franck

Description:

Die Musik des Impressionismus und der spÃ¤ten Romantik war fÃ¼r mich als Fagottist schon immer ein Objekt der Sehnsucht. Unter den bedeutenden Komponisten seiner Zeit beschloss Camille Saint-SaÃ«ns als einer der wenigen, das Repertoire des Fagotts als einem Â»dieser sonst so vernachlÃ¤ssigten InstrumenteÂ« zu erweitern. Doch damit war er leider recht allein, was in meinen Augen umso betrÃ¼blicher ist, als dass mir der Klangcharakter des Instruments fÃ¼r die Musik dieser Zeit Ã¼beraus passend erscheint. Besonders die Sonaten von Debussy und Franck scheinen zunÃ¤chst in ihrer Originalinstrumentation weit entfernt vom viel tieferen und Ã¼berhaupt von der Violine so verschiedenen Fagott zu sein. Es war mir weniger ein Anliegen, Werke zu finden, in denen die Melodiestimme mÃ¶glichst unverÃ¤ndert Ã¼bernommen werden kann, als solche, in denen die Klangcharakteristiken des Fagotts der AtmosphÃ¤re der Werke mÃ¶glichst gerecht werden. Theo Plath - WORKS BY DEBUSSY/SAINT-SAENS/BOULANGER/FRANCK

Theo Plath writes: "I always found that the music of Impressionism and Late Romanticism was an object of longing for me as a bassoonist; Saint-Saëns was one of the few composers of his time who helped to expand the repertoire of "one of these otherwise so neglected instruments". He was unfortunately rather alone in that endeavor - which I find all the more regrettable, since I regard the bassoon's timbre as quite appropriate for the music of that period. With this album I have fulfilled my personal dream to revel in the music of Romanticism and Impressionism, an era otherwise mostly lost for the bassoon as a solo instrument. Art often depicts our yearning for what is lost in the past. Proust, more than any other author, evoked memory as a source of artistic inspiration in his multi-volume novel In Search of Lost Time, to which this album's title refers."
