The bassoon is a quirky instrument — difficult to play, with a distinctive sound that requires lots of controlled breath support and control. It’s also a large and unwieldy instrument, and it requires the player to master the process of making reeds. Bassoonist Michael McCraw was one of the masters of the instrument. He died a few days ago, so today’s offering is Beautiful Music featuring his lovely artistry. You will also find a link to his biography.
