Info for Leading Bassoon

Caprices by Paganini on the bassoon? ‘Yes, that's possible,’ says the young bassoonist Emanuel Blumin-Sint. In September 2024, the winner of the 2024 Fanny Mendelssohn Prize will release his debut album on the ES-DUR label. With ‘Leading Bassoon’, Emanuel Blumin-Sint demonstrates the many possibilities of the bassoon and expands the repertoire and playing technique. It is his great desire to establish the bassoon as a leading solo instrument. On his album, he combines the works of Bach, Mozart, Paganini, Allard and Villa-Lobos with contemporary compositions by Yuri Povolotsky and Valentin Silvestrov, which are dedicated to him. In Silvestrov's composition, Emanuel himself takes over the pedalling on the piano. Flutist Matvey Demin and cellist Alexey Stadler are Emanuel's partners in the duo works.
