Sergio Azzolini has borrowed cadenzas from Vivaldi’s violin concertos (in RV 479, RV 486), yet while the bassoon’s extrovert energy sometimes bubbles over, bordering on frenzy (RV 489, RV 497), there\u003cbr\u003eare also meditative monologues (RV 479, for example), in this programme of surprising contrasts.\u003cbr\u003e CD with 36-page booklet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting: \u003cbr\u003eConcerto RV 497 in la minore\u003cbr\u003eAllegro molto, Andante molto, Allegro\u003cbr\u003eConcerto RV 476 in do maggiore\u003cbr\u003eAllegro, Largo, Allegro molto\u003cbr\u003eConcerto RV 486 in fa maggiore\u003cbr\u003eAllegro non molto, Largo, Allegro\u003cbr\u003eConcerto RV 481 in re minore\u003cbr\u003eAllegro, Larghetto, Allegro molto\u003cbr\u003eConcerto RV 467 in do maggiore\u003cbr\u003eAllegro, Andante, Allegro\u003cbr\u003eConcerto RV 489 in fa maggiore\u003cbr\u003eAllegro, Largo, Allegro Concerto RV 479 in do maggiore\u003cbr\u003eAllegro, Largo, Allegro\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Believe Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39459578478748,"sku":"OP30573","price":13.73,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/SergioAzzolini_L_OndaArmonica-ConcertiperfagottoV.jpg?v=1616163176","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/sergio-azzolini-l-onda-armonica-concerti-per-fagotto-v","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
