                Elgar played the.. bassoon?!
            
         
    
    
            Do watch Chris Rowley's excellent video on Elgar's writing for the bassoon: 'Having an opportunity to recreate the sound world he had in mind and play these wonderful instruments is a huge privilege' youtu.be/pnWdpsd1CFk?...

            Fascinating to hear Elgar played on period instruments courtesy of the OAE (wooden flutes, French bassoons etc) + to learn about his talents as a bassoonist at Chris Rowley's pre-concert talk
