Why play it?
The Breaking Winds Bassoon Quartet has built its repertoire around the idea that bassoons shouldn’t have to stay in their lane.
A Broken Anthology of Western Music applies that philosophy to the Western classical canon, transforming familiar music into arrangements specifically designed for four bassoons. The result is repertoire that is recognizable, technically engaging, theatrical, and unmistakably Breaking Winds.
If you’ve heard the album and thought, “I want to play that,” now you can.
