The Corridor Bassoon Quartet was established by György Lakatos bassoon player and his three students. The Corridor relates to a corridor, which leads the audience through the different centuries, styles and genres, renaissance, baroque, modern and traditional, jazz, rock and fusion music. In this album the musicians play Csuhaj‘s pieces composed for bassoon quartet. For decades he has been one of the most dominant figures in the improvisational music of Hungary.
