Bassooning on Sunday
A few weeks ago I received an e-mail for a donors event at the WFMT Studio. William Buchman, the CSO’s second bassoon would be accompanied by David Schrader on piano. It was broadcast between 3:08 and 4:10 by the clock-on-the-wall Sunday afternoon. They played three pieces for bassoon that I’d never heard before, (and who hears bassoon that often anyway?) so that made my day. There was no printed program, but the first piece was by Saint-Saëns then two other by 20th century Czech composers, one for solo bassoon and then the last for piano and bassoon. David did good on the clusters in the last piece. And Bill never squeeked a note!
