\nFollowing on from her debut album impressions, featuring chamber music for bassoon and piano, bassoon player Sophie Dervaux is poised to release her second album on the Berlin Classics label. This album marks two premieres: in addition to this being the very first recording of the Concerto no. 2 in C major for bassoon and orchestra by Johann Baptist Vanhal, Ms Dervaux performs as both soloist and conductor of the Mozarteum Orchestra of Salzburg.<\/p>\n
The recording of Mozart\u2019s Concerto in B flat major for bassoon and orchestra was the starting point for this present CD. It is acknowledged to be one of the most important works ever written for the wind instrument: composed in the Viennese Classical style, sophisticated and nuanced \u2013 and the only bassoon concerto by Mozart to have survived. \u201cThe Concerto in B flat major forms the basis for many bassoonists\u2019 repertoire,\u201d Sophie Dervaux explains, \u201cand for that reason I have long waited to record the work \u2013 it is an important step along my career path and I faced up to it with respect.\u201d <\/p>\n
What can be paired on an album alongside a work that enjoys the huge significance of Mozart\u2019s bassoon concerto? Sophie Dervaux has chosen two composers who were close to Mozart, and who share a common history with him. Vanhal and Hummel, like Mozart, all left their mark on the musical history of Vienna \u2013 the city in which Sophie Dervaux, as solo bassoonist with the Vienna Philharmonic, has chosen to make her home. <\/p>\n
Johann Nepomuk Hummel was a pupil of Mozart; for a while, he lived under the same roof as his teacher. Hummel\u2019s compositions are stylistically located on the cusp between Viennese Classical and the Romantic era: the the finale of his Grand Concerto shows evidence of folk-music influences. Like Mozart\u2019s concerto in B flat major, Hummel\u2019s Grand Concerto in F is also a standard work in today\u2019s bassoon repertoire.<\/p>\n
Johann Baptist Vanhal\u2019s Concerto for bassoon and orchestr,a on the other hand, \u201cwas like a blank sheet of paper,\u201d says Sophie Dervaux. \u201cI had no end of opportunities in the interpretation; indeed, I did not even know quite how it would sound when I began. The first few notes were a really wonderful surprise!\u201d Although Vanhal, who was born in Bohemia, was counted among the foremost composers of the day in his lifetime, very few of his works have been published or performed in recent times. As an \u201cambassador\u201d for her instrument, Sophie Dervaux has for many years been championing the expansion of the repertoire for bassoon and for introducing unknown works to a wider audience. <\/p>\n
When recording this album, featuring Mozart\u2019s bassoon concerto as the starting point, she consciously chose the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg; after all, who could be better suited than an orchestra from Mozart\u2019s home city, an ensemble that can look back on such a great tradition? \u201cIt was a highly rewarding collaboration with the Mozarteum Orchestra, a musical interaction that I will long cherish,\u201d recalls Sophie Dervaux. Conducting was again a new and intensive experience. \u201cI am very grateful to all the musicians for their unparalleled support. A great sense of energy built up between us. Playing with and above all conducting this orchestra has awakened my curiosity more than ever. I intend to continue along this path.\u201d Both of those paths in Sophie Dervaux\u2019s career \u2013 as bassoonist and conductor \u2013 come together convincingly on her new album Mozart, Hummel, Vanhal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
