The bassoon quartet I’m in, the Boulder Bassoons, recently played for one of the member’s doctoral recitals, and we managed to get a recording of the performance. The performance wasn’t perfect, but it was pretty darn good, so I’m linking the recording here, for your listening enjoyment.
The piece we performed was “Odes to the Americas”, by Marjan Mozetich, commissioned by the Caliban Bassoon Quartet. The three movement piece is written for three bassoons and a contrabassoon, and is a lot of fun to play and to listen to. Enjoy!

The Caliban Quartet made the definitive recording of the piece, which can be found on their website, or places like Amazon.

Not to beat a dead horse by resurrecting this old post, but I discovered a new “WPaudio” plugin in the blog settings, activated it, converted the links in the post, and voila! A working, nice looking audio player. Sweet!
I’m guessing you were the one who added it, so thanks! Nice find!
