Tuttiblazers
Tutti wind instruments from the Concertgebouw Orchestra emerge from the shadows and highlight the versatility of the wind ensemble in this Close-up Concert. They continually create new soundscapes. Reicha's elegant Trio for two horns and bassoon is followed by Beethoven's Quintet , in which three horns, oboe, and bassoon alternately support and challenge one another. Berio's playful Opus Number Zoo concludes the first half. A virtuoso bassoon solo is the prelude to Dvořák's famous "American" quartet in an arrangement by David Walter.
