Please try the Beethoven trio op. 38 with bassoon. The piano was voiced too mushy: not sure why this is considered OK?...certainly it should not be tuned equal temperament when used with a clarinet in A. The undertones/overtones of equal temperament are quite questionable in the first place but do not match at all the harmonics of the A clarinet. Try it on Bb. It is not going to be easy either way...and get a recording engineer who is a fine musician not just some guy with a microphone!
This is wonderful...great musicianship...intonation beautiful....bassoon round in ALL registers. Bravo...This group "gets it".
