PARENTAL ADVISORY: BASSOON RECITAL
Mix together equal parts Andy Warhol, Mick Jagger, George Bush and several prison inmates and what do you get? Halloween in the East Village? No: a bassoon recital. Join Jeffrey Lyman with colleagues Donald Sinta and Ana Maria Otamendi for music inspired by these personalities. The program begins with the Concert No. 2 by the Swiss harpsichord virtuoso Marguerite Roesgen-Champion with Donald Sinta, alto saxophone and pianist Ana Maria Otamendi, and continues with Andy Warhol Sez... by Paul Moravec, a set of pieces inspired by quotes from Andy Warhol. The "parental advisory" warning is earned by one of two works for bassoon and soundtrack by Dutch composer Jacob TV (aka Jacob ter Veldhuis). GRAB IT! combines excerpts from the raw soundtrack of the film Scared Straight with amplified bassoon, and gives this recital its PG-13 rating. Veldhuis' Believer is a meditation on fragments from an interview between Bill O'Reilly and George Bush, which could be just as frightening to some listeners. Cheil Meijering's I can't get no satisfaction and PDQ Bach's Sonata "Abassoonata" complete the program.
