Amlin’s gifts of dazzle and suspense join together in adding a wonderful gem to the bassoon literature. The dovetailing of perpetuo-like gestures creates a fabric that is intense yet gentle, obstinate yet full of unexpectedly peaceful oases. INTRADA III builds textures so fresh that its harmony sounds modernistic even in consonant arpeggios. Fast passagework and surprising rhythms make INTRADA III a must-have for professional and degree recitals.
