(Fernand Oubradous - did for the Bassoon what Landowska did for the Harpsichord)

Fernand Oubradous had a long and celebrated career throughout France and Europe. In addition to his work on Bassoon, he was also an accomplished clarinetist as well as conductor and led his own orchestra in a series of award winning recordings for French Pathe` in the 1950s.

So we're posting something a bit more familiar today - Mozart: Bassoon Concerto K. 191 with Fernand Oubradous, Bassoon and an unnamed chamber orchestra conducted by Eugene Bigot. Recorded in Paris for HMV, June 23, 1936. This particular recording is from Victor set - M-704, as it was released in the U.S.

Thank you, Gordonskene!

Thanks so much for your support of Sunday Gramophone. I wasn't sure it was going to fly when I decided to add it to the weekend lineup. It's really nice people are enjoying it. I work rather hard making sure these old discs don't sound crappy. Your comments are always appreciated.

G.S.
