5.0 out of 5 stars The First of a Series of All of Vivaldi's Bassoon Concerti, 24 Jan 2004
By J Scott Morrison (Middlebury VT, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I don't think I've ever heard a bad recording of a Vivaldi bassoon concerto. That may say more about me than about the recordings, but I don't think so. There is something about these concerti that attracts good players and, let's face it, these are not the most profound compositions ever written; they tend to be virtuosic for the soloist and have fairly simple orchestral accompaniments. They are, however, unfailingly pleasant, falling gracefully on the ear. I have particularly liked the recordings of Klaus Thuneman, Michael McCraw, and William Bennett. Here we have what appears to be the beginning of a new series of Vivaldi Bassoon Concerti featuring a bassoonist heretofore unknown to me, Tamás Benkócs (whose name, I'm informed by a Hungarian friend, is pronounced roughly TAHmahsh BENcoach). He is accompanied by the modern-instrument Nicolaus Esterházy Sinfonia conducted by Béla Drahos, the group and conductor that have made creditable recordings of Beethoven and Haydn symphonies for the Naxos label.

Vivaldi is thought to have written 39 bassoon concerti, of which two or more are incomplete. This CD contains, for those of you who are counting, seven of this number.

The performances are exemplary. Benkócz's playing is technically flawless as well as being musical. His playing is equally impressive in the dancing fast movements and the more pensive middle movements. He does employ a bit more expressive range than some other players; this possibly accords with more modern scholarship about baroque performance practice. Whether it does or not, it pleased me. Further, his tone is very rich, even in rapid passages. He uses a moderate amount of vibrato, praise be. Tempi are well-chosen.

Pity the poor record label that sets out to record all of Vivaldi's extant concerti for all instruments, something over five hundred. Maybe they'll stop with these bassoon works; I figure they can probably get the bassoon concerti onto about five or six CDs, a number that is not overwhelming. I'll be looking for further issues.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good bassoon playing!!!, 6 Jul 2004
Mr. Benkócs is an outstanding bassoonist. Beautiful sound, fine intonation and impecable technique. He is another example that you don't need historic instruments to play Vivaldi and can play any kind of barock music on modern instruments.
I give this recording only 4 stars because of the orchestra. There's too many mistakes, it's too often out of tune, it's just bad string (specially violins!!!) playing. A musician like Mr. benkócs deserves better musical partners.
