HERSANT: Music for Bassoon Andrea Bressan, Ex Novo Ensemble, Schola Cantorum San Rocco [CD de audio] Andrea Bressan, Ex Novo Ens

Philippe Hersant (born 1948) is one of the most remarkable and successful composers of his native France. A student of André Jolivet he embraced tonality and modality, finding his own unique voice, eclectic, open and appealing to a wide audience. He won numerous prizes: Grand Prix de la ville de Paris, Grand Prix SACEM, Victoires de la Musique Classique 2016, and the Légion dhonneur. This new recording presents his music for the bassoon, a still neglected but versatile and expressive wind instrument. Included are the duos for bassoon and viola, 8 Pieces for bassoon and instrumental ensemble and works for bassoon solo. Played with great conviction and imagination by Italian bassoonist Andrea Bressan and the Ex Novo Ensemble. Liner notes written by the composer.
