- Bassoon quartet: a contra, two bassoons and a mini bassoon - all played by one person (Polly Horton)! The piece Polly is playing is Mahler 1 (Movement 3) with the Amati contrabassoon playing the part of the double bass, the Puchner Model 23 playing the timpani's part, a Heckel 7000 playing 1st bassoon and the mini #bassoon playing the oboe's part! All arranged by Michael Gibbs. Enjoy!
Wow, hearing music like this makes me so glad to be a bassoonist. :')
I'm sure someone else has pointed out that this piece has some fairly strong minor key "Frére Jacques" vibes
Yep, that’s one of the themes that Mahler was inspired by in this movement
@@aro4457... as in, his 1st Symphony.
Mahler would proud! An Impressed oboist.
Wonderful sound, robust and very tuned, I loved it!
That was fantastic
Thank you Pat!
Absolutely wonderful!
oooh....this makes me want to arrange something for two oboes, EH, bass oboe, alto bassoon, two regular bassoons, and contrabassoon. The possibilities are mindblowing.
Sounds cool
mini bassoon??? might as well use an oboe!!! (love the two instruments btw....) the bassoon is an inCREDIBLE instrument!!!!
First time I've seen anybody play an Octopus !
Long live bassoon (and also oboe all woodwinds are welcome )
Nice mini bassoon. That could possibly a tenoroon or an alto bassoon.
Do believe it’d be considered an alto bassoon (altoon?) in this case.
@@kppage8843 Possibly a Loony Toon?
@@DieFlabbergast 😂🤣
petition to call the mini bassoon the tenoroon
That was cool
Nice
Wow!
I fucking love this
Alrighty then! 😇😁
I think I'll buy my daughter a mini bassoon for her 7th birthday (which is in 5 years). Good idea, yes?
Naw...go hog wild: get her the contra; let her grow into it.
The Jils well considering the fact that contras cost $8000< , that’s not really a good idea. If you have the funds, sure, but not for most people.
@@lightisbetterthanlight566 speaking of light, lighten up, will ya! my comment was meant to be taken as a "light" hearted joke...I think even Mr. Incogitatus, the original poster, recognized my attempt at sardonic humor with my comment....the contra is one of those instruments that you just DON'T grow into...even as with the bassoon, the contra takes an incredible amount of breath control to sound even halfway decent: even if in most cases you are doubling the bass line, to be heard (and felt) during these passages with any semblance of musicality is no small feat...giving this instrument to a child that hasn't even reached junior high school yet would be a very frustrating experience...incidentally, even a marginal, new Amati contra costs around $9000 USD (they actually sound fairly decent and professional contra players buy them for back-up)...phenomenal new contras from Fox and Mollenhauer can cost well above $27,000...and brand new creme de la creme contras from the legendary Heckel company are in the stratosphere cost-wise...now do you see why my comment was to be taken more as a tongue in cheek flippant piece of advice?
@@thejils1669 Could you yourself lighten up? yes their reply was harsh but you didnt have to go full essay on them. You give me the chills Jils :(
@@dimitrishostakovich2223 Really? That was only the first chapter of my tome...
