ALC 0149 Crossover Bassoon

A vivid exploration of the bassoon’s expressive power, bringing together contemporary compositions and evocative musical storytelling. The journey begins with DiBona & Sangiovanni’s Indian River and Fiume Argentino, works that blend lyrical intensity and rhythmic vitality. A. Giovagnoli’s Crossover Bassoon and Xanadu Regio highlight the instrument’s versatility, crossing classical and modern sound worlds with bold imagination. At the heart of the program, P. Vivaldi’s The Little Suite of Odysseus unfolds in three movements Departure from Troy, The Journey of Ulysses, and Ithaca a poetic and cinematic musical narrative inspired by Homer’s epic voyage. Rich in color, energy, and emotion, this album showcases the bassoon as a dynamic solo voice, capable of both lyrical elegance and contemporary brilliance.
