New Enchantments: Fairy Tale Music for Bassoon
I'm excited to release my first album, New Enchantments: Fairy Tale Music for Bassoon, in 2023. Three pieces are my own arrangements of fairy tale music by Rameau, Rossini, and Schumann. The other three pieces are commissions by Sato Matsui, Iván Enrique Rodríguez, and Max Grafe; the fairy tales they were inspired by each reflect a different cultural heritage. I was privileged to record with a wonderful group of musicians, including Hilda Huang (piano), Kathleen McLean (bassoon), Rachell Ellen Wong (violin), Bethanne Walker (flute), Jonathan Salamon (harpsichord), and Lucian Avalon (oboe).
Some of the pieces from the album are available for purchase:
My DMA dissertation from Juilliard is also about fairy tale music. I've written program notes for the album based on my research, which you can read here.
