Debut release from Vienna Philharmonic principal
The Vienna Phil’s principal bassoon Sophie Dervaux has her first album coming out on Berlin Classics (presumably there are no active classical labels in Vienna).

With a serenely spread G major chord, Emanuel Ax launched a gloriously unrushed reading of Beethoven’s Fourth Concerto. This piece is part of the life blood of Haitink, Ax and the Vienna Philharmonic; but there was not a shred of complacency around this performance. The conversations between piano and wind were impeccably judged (Sophie Dervaux’ bassoon a first among equals), Haitink’s gestures honed to a minimum, followed to a tee by the orchestra, ensured perfect ensemble between soloist and orchestra.
