François Devienne (1759 - 1803) ~ Sonate pour un Basson avec un accompagnement de basse, op. 24 No. 1 ~ Inga Maria Klaucke, bassoon & Alexandra Nepomnyashchaya, fortepiano 00:00 I. Allegro 05:16 II. Adagio 08:00 III. Menuet avec des Variations Playful airiness, virtuosic brilliance, wit, charm, emotional depth, lyrical poetry and rhythmic finesse - the bassoon sonatas by François Devienne (1759 - 1803), Parisian contemporary of Mozart and himself a celebrated virtuoso on flute and bassoon, display a splendid variety of affects perfectly tailored to the bassoon's expressive character, which in our rendition is further enhanced by the beautiful colours and dynamic flexibility of the fortepiano. This is 'Hausmusik' and 'divertissement' in the best sense: A jovial and sophisticated pastime at a musical home; anecdotes, gossip and heartfelt story telling amongst friends and kindred spirits, which you as listeners are cordially invited to share and enjoy. #devienne #bassoon #fortepiano #hausmusik #musicalhome ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Inga Maria Klaucke, bassoon after Grenser by Pau Orriols & Alfons Sibila, Villanova i la Geltrú 2014 Alexandra Nepomnyashchaya, fortepiano after Walter by Gijs Wilderom, Amsterdam 2000 Sound & Visuals by Daniël Brüggen, Amsterdam 2022 www.musicframefilms.nl Generously supported by Deutscher Musikrat Neustart Kultur.
