About This Song
About "Jolivet : Bassoon Concerto : III Largo cantabile" by André Jolivet
A Largo cantabile for bassoon that sings with unexpected tenderness. Jolivet coaxes a mournful, human voice from the instrument's woody depths, the melody unfurling like a slow river through a dark landscape. It's a moment of fragile beauty, held in check by an undercurrent of unease.
