About

This second album of early 19th century bassoon concertos by Jaakko Luoma and Tapiola Sinfonietta includes four concertos written for Frans Carl Preumayr (1782-1853), proficient and talented bassoonist who moved to Stockholm in 1802. Most of the works were taken with him on his grand tour as a soloist throughout Europe 1829-1830. Probably the best-known of the works were written by his Finnish father-in-law Bernhard Henrik Crusell and Franz Berwald, Sweden's most famous composer of the Romantic period. However, the impressive bassoon concerto by the Swiss-born edouard Du Puy is a gem that has been very rarely heard. In a similar fashion also the German-born composer Eduard Brendler has been largely forgotten by history. All four works are powerful, interesting, and demanding solo compositions which are also giving light to the music life in one of the Nordic music capitals 200 years ago.
