This volume brings together the brilliant bassoon concertos of Antonio Rosetti (1750–1792) with the most famous work for the instrument, Mozart’s Bassoon Concerto in B-flat major KV 191. Rosetti, one of the leading composers of the Mannheim school, wrote works of elegance and vitality, while Mozart gave the bassoon its first major role in the classical concerto repertoire.
