## Description

After having been practiced, enjoyed and extolled during the nineteenth century and having afterwards been neglected and even spurned as too nineteenth-century in taste and custom, of late the instrumental paraphrase of opera themes has regained favour. This is right, because this music is quite useful not only for highlighting the performers virtuosity, but also for calling to the listeners mind the themes of operas and the greatest composers. The paraphrase, also called fantasia, reminiscence, musical thought, differs from the variation, which constantly modifies and complicates its source; it is much appreciated on the piano, but also when performed by any small or large chamber-music group; as a rule it takes a melody or several melodies from a well-known composition, often an opera, and acts on them at will, sometimes attaining fantastic degrees of difficulty for the performer, or sometimes limiting itself to a pleasant reproduction of its model. Among the many composers of paraphrases for keyboard instruments, the most brilliant were Franz Liszt, Carl Tausig, Carl Czerny (who paraphrased favourite arias from several operas by Donizetti such as Lucrezia Borgia and Roberto Devereux), Sigismund Thalberg (Don Giovanni, Mos&#xE8;, La sonnambula, Don Pasquale) and Stefano Golinelli (Lucia di Lammermoor, Rigoletto, Il trovatore). A curious case, among the composers of piano pieces, was that of Ignaz Moscheles, who in 1832 published Pensieri alla Pasta, a dramatic fantasia for piano on the various themes of arias sung by the celebrated singer Giuditta Pasta (previously composed by Zingarelli, Pacini, Gluck and Meyerbeer). The Ricordi catalogues, however, teemed with pieces like these short or long, isolated or in groups, for two or four hands, for harp, oboe, violin or bassoon, with flute or cello ad libitum, and so on. Considering the paraphrase technique from a broader point of view, apart from the name it was given and its success in the cultured Western world, undoubtedly it is one of the most widespread and predictable in all genres of music, periods and countries. After considering the well-known examples for solo piano, we will now concisely describe the programme of this recording of paraphrases for bassoon, the ancient, baroque instrument loved by Vivaldi and appreciated, in ensemble music, also by classicist and romantic composers.

    Opern Fantasien für Fagott und Klavier aus dem 19. Jarhundert , Italien
  
  

*by P***T on Reviewed in Germany on February 16, 2020*

Die meisten der hier eingespielten Fantasien gibt es auch auf einer CD mit dem Fagottisten Carlini , die ich noch etwas besser finde als diese hier . Deswegen nur 4 Sterne .  Auch kann ich eine Cd von Ted Soluti empfehlen mit dem Titel Sempre Libera , die Neubearbeitungen von Opern Arien für Fagott und Klavier enthält . Allerdings sind die Werke aus dem 19. Jahrhundert meist virtuoser ! Aber diese Aufnahme fehlt etwas der Pep , die Aufnahmen vom bereits  erwähnten Carlini sind besser . Aber zum gelegentliche hören ist auch diese CD gut !
