Beautifully done! As a bassoonist, I hope to grow to where I'm able to master that well of control over the instrument. Again, well done!

[@biancachambul7900]

Absolutely sublime, Zsófi. Wow.

[@ZsofiaStefanBassoon]

Thank you, my dear friend! 😊

[@biancachambul7900]

[@Xingqiwu387]

Fabulous tone, technique, and musicality! It's hard to believe she's playing on a Legere reed.

[@meganluke444]

Legere reeds are excellent. Very stable and reliable.

[@Xingqiwu387]

@@meganluke444 Perhaps those for bassoon; those made for the oboe leave much to be desired.

[@ivanhristov2684]

Great solo! Your clarinet collage is just no comment... Deserves a slap in the face at least.

[@labemolmineur]

I don't understand.

[@rebeccaroberts2589]

Hard to play so beautifully with such a distraction on your right hand side❤️ Bravo 👏👏👏👏

[@peterseago5451]

Absolutely trying to get the attention of the audience and the cameras, almost as if he's taking the credit for teaching her the solo. He should have better manners.

[@Jeyagu]

Hahahah my first thought too, so annoying, so many movements and facessssss 😵‍💫

[@TurboBinch]

Great playing! The backseat clarinetist, though...

[@christopherraymond]

A perfect example of how NOT to act. That kind of crap is annoying to be around.

[@Aright231]

Haha Elon Musk thinks this solo is A-ok 😂

[@shin-i-chikozima]

She holds an unchallenged position as an interpreter of Shostskovich.
And
She is a great Alchemist of the bassoon embodying the aesthetics of Shostskovich

[@Ck-en7pc]

perfect sound bravo 🌻

[@bassoononline2859]

Very very nice. You see a Légère reed can do very well

[@estevecasanova3623]

A very good sound quality and great musicality. Brava!

[@ZsofiaStefanBassoon]

Thank You, Esteve!

[@alfonsovalletta5353]

Zsofia Stefan - bassoon hi, what size of legere reed did you use in this concert?

[@ZsofiaStefanBassoon]

@@alfonsovalletta5353 Hi!
I used Legere's Medium strenght reed, I bought this one in 2015. (They change the reeds a little in every year.) You can't buy bassoon reeds in different sizes, just in two strenghts, Medium and Medium-hard. Good luck with them!

[@MrBssnboy]

@@ZsofiaStefanBassoon Hello Great playing! How are the 2018 reeds? I was thinking of purchasing another one.

[@ZsofiaStefanBassoon]

@@MrBssnboy Hi!
They are also pretty good, but actually I liked the 2017 series better because of the better sound quality.

[@katiebeavers9194]

Amazing!

[@assistrade9665]

Perfect!

[@jamshot6899]

Вы красивая！Очень красиво играете

Bravo 👏🏻

[@carmenmainermartin5480]

Really Nice, brava!!! 👏👏👏👏 No comment your clarinet colleague…

[@ZsofiaStefanBassoon]

Thank you for your nice comment, it means a lot.

[@TeddyOn]

Nice!

[@Goobilicous]

I know this is an old post but as a professional do you prefer plastic or cane reeds more? Or is it more of a situation type of thing?

[@ZsofiaStefanBassoon]

I have been playing only on Legere reeds for 2 years now. I only played on a cane reed if I wanted to test other players' reeds. Synthetic reed is a comfortable solution for me, because I really haven't learned to make my own reeds (shame on me), and this way I don't have to worry about it. Not to mention that these reeds don't change at all, and I think all the bassoon players know, that before an important concert the best reed is the one which you know well how to handle. I have reeds from multiple series, and I always can find a good one for all occasions, wether it is a solo, chamber music, or an orchestral performance.

お隣のクラリネットのオッちゃんかわいいｗ

[@ghm8990]

Prima ! ❤

[@valmen912]

Wonderful performance. Congratulations Zsofia!!
Do you always play with Legere Medium? Do you usually do some retouching?

[@wagygnola]

My interpretation ❤️

[@hyera_bassoonissimo]

brava🩷🩷👏👏👏

[@samanthab6642]

Beautiful bassoonist and nice supportive clarinet colleague

[@TurboBinch]

That's not supportive. It's incredibly distracting, both as a musician and an audience member.

[@gernotfriedrich7091]

Schönes solo !!!
Aber der 1.Klarinettist daneben ist einfach peinlich……

[@kむい]

プラリードやん

[@analizboullonestevez1144]

Perfect !
