Which do I like best -- the delightful silliness, the impeccable timing, or the amazing musicianship? Yes.

I'd say, all, especially the silliness parts. Not as easy as it looks.

I knew Peter Schickele was a bassoonist. Now, after seeing and hearing you guys, I'm convinced being a bit warped is a prerequisite to taking up the instrument. 😂

Bassoon is the hardest wind instrument to play and these ladies are fantastic.

As someone that has played all the common modern woodwinds except flute, IMO oboe is the most difficult, then English horn. then bassoon. The hardest part of playing bassoon, I felt, was switching from bass to tenor clef in some of the older pieces of music -- like Ravel's Bolero. The bassoon solo in the Bolero is way up into the treble clef, near the top of a bassoon's range, so it was written in tenor clef to keep it from being notated so high above the staff.

Bolero never sounded so good, so haunting, mysterious and exotic, as here. If it wasn't written for bassoon, it should have been. Wonderful!

Please keep doing what you do. You four are what the bassoon needs in order to survive in the 21st Century

That needed to be longer! 5:29 just enough time. I have to wonder why YT waited this long to suggest this. I have been listening to many different music streams over the last 4 years. Glad the algorithm finally worked! You make me laugh at your antics and the music ain't half bad.

The bassoon is not normally a lead instrument, but these ladies have managed to take it to new heights doing Ravel's Bolero. Very creative. Bassoons are cool. Thank you, girls. I'm looking forward to more performances. BTW, great name!

I watched the concerto portion of the last Van Cliburn competition and was amazed by how often the oboe played a major part. The Ft Worth Symphony oboist did an amazing job in supporting the entire piece, Orchestra & piano.

Very creatively reimagined. I like how different parts of the instrument were used in unuaual ways to execute the vbarious voices in the piece. Double reeds are so hard. Respect. (and here I am learning violin...) I keep looking for the disclaimer "No Bassoons were harmed in the making of this video".

Normally I would not listen to Bolero intentionally--I would, in fact, go out of my way to avoid it--but when I see that it is my favorite bassoon quartet, I did not hesitate and was not disappointed! The music is lovely, the video is lovely, and I LOVE the humor y'all bring to your performances!

The bassoon sounds so good without the bass or bell joint! Of course it sounds good with the bass and bell joints too.
