About

The bassoon comes out of the closet! 'The Galant Bassoon' is a remarkable journey with three musicians of international acclaim as they rescue this reserved member of the woodwind section and place it, deservedly, in the spotlight.

Virtuoso bassoonist from the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Matthew Wilkie, showcases the colour and brilliance of his instrument in a sparkling and sophisticated collaboration with harpsichordist Neal Peres Da Costa, who
is recognised as an expert in early music performance, and Principal Bass of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Kees Boersma.

A generous selection of six chamber pieces by J S Bach, Telemann and CPE Bach – with their melodic exuberance, dance-like rhythms, consoling adagios and virtuosic flights of display – provide the perfect vehicle for the imagination and flair of these players.

The Galant Bassoon references the galant style, a change from much of the complexity and ornamentation of the Baroque to a simpler, more classical approach epitomised by Telemann, CPE Bach and others in their compositions and by much of the music in this recital.
