Ldiko Racz

This recording combines all the major works of bassoon repertoire written between 1770 and 1830 with Mozart's magnificent concerto as the undisputed masterpiece. He was able to bring the full range of bassoon's possibilities into play, making use of its entire tonal range in the opening movement. Matthias Rácz, probably one of the best bassoon players of our generation, presents this work as well as the two concertos of Hummel and Weber with the greatest of ease.

Ödön Rácz is a fourth generation contrabassist. Great grandfather and grandfather played in ensembles, his father in an orchestra. The son, born in Budapest in 1981, also chose the same path. He has been a member of Vienna’s State Opera orchestra since 2004 and as such, the successor to his prominent teacher Alois Posch. Rácz studied the orchestral literature with him and Posch is still today his most important role model as an orchestra musician. His idol as a solo musician is also a former Vienna Philharmonic member Ludwig Streicher, whose soloist tracks Rácz follows on this recording. For Streicher, the most prominent contrabassist of his time, the concerti from Vanhal, Dittersdorf and Bottesini were also his declared favourites.
