This review is from: François Devienne: Bassoon Concertos (Audio CD)

This is a very nice recording of bassoon concertos by the Mozart of Paris, Francois Devienne. Eckart Huebner is a masterful player with a nice sound, good interpretation, great intonation, and brings out the musicality which occasionally lacks or is absent in Devienne recordings. His notes are well written and provide background with thoughts and conjecture concerning each of the concertos and the mysterious 2nd bassoon concerto of Mozart which has been attributed to Devienne.

Also, one may notice the abscence of Concerto no. 3 for bassoon, Huebner explains that all that is extant is a score without the solo bassoon part. Thus, it is unusable, perhaps the next Devienne scholar will write a solo part?

This compact is well worth the money and serves many functions, entertainment, scholarship, and good reading or "reeding" [reed making] music.
