Allegro • _____ • Bassoon: Maurice Allard • Conductor: Claudio Scimone • Ensemble: I Solisti Veneti • Year of Recording: 1974 • _____ • Ten of Vivaldi’s bassoon concertos are in minor keys. One of four in this key, the Concerto in A minor, RV 497, opens with a vigorous ritornello, continuing, after a pause, in a gentler mood with violins and viola, before the initial impetus is restored. The virtuoso solo part starts with figuration based on the tonic chord, before adding rapid runs, its later entries varied by the inclusion of elements drawn from the second part of the opening ritornello. The E minor Andante molto is introduced by the orchestra, with imitative entries, before the bassoon embarks on its own aria, replete with demisemiquaver triplet figuration. The third movement duly starts with the orchestral ritornello, framing solo episodes that include characteristically wide leaps for the solo bassoon.
