Mr. van Sambeek began his studies with Fred Gaasterland and continued with Joep Terwey and Johan Steinmann at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. After graduation he took private lessons with Gustavo Núñez. Last season he started a professorship at the Hochschule für Music und Tanz in Cologne, and he was the spokesman of the Holland Festival’s “Save the bassoon” campaign.

That is because Mozart is so famous and brilliant but also because his beautiful concerto features at almost any occasion in one’s career, whether it is an audition for an orchestral position or a final round for a competition. The com- position is very well-balanced, in accordance with the style of the period, but even so the first and third movements are extremely playful, with idiomatic jumps and staccato passages in the solo part and cheeky exchanges between the orchestra and the bassoon.

From the start of the Baroque Period a hundred years earlier, skilled craftsmen like Gasparo da Salò advanced string instrument building technique until it reached its apex with the instruments of Antonio Stradivari and Giuseppe Guarneri. The burgeoning music publishing industry also inspired composers to write pieces that would stand out and establish their international reputations.

Bassoonist Bram Van Sambeek Is 'Concerto'
Press release date: 5 April 2018 Bassoonist Bram van Sambeek is ‘Concerto’ winner at BBC Music Magazine Awards 2018 Sebastian Fagerlund: Bassoon Concerto ‘Mana’, Woodlands Kalevi Aho: Bassoon Concerto, Solo V Bram van Sambeek bassoon Lahti Symphony Orchestra Dima Slobodeniouk conductor (Aho) Okko Kamu conductor (Fagerlund) BIS2206 (hybrid CD/SACD) London 5 April 2018: The Borletti-Buitoni Trust (BBT) congratulates Dutch bassoonist Bram van Sambeek on his 2018 BBC Music Magazine Award in the ‘Concerto’ category, for his debut recording on the BIS label of two bassoon concertos by Finnish composers Sebastian Fagerlund and Kalevi Aho. Bram commented: “ I would like to thank Robert von Bahr at BIS and Susan Rivers at the Borletti-Buitoni Trust for bringing together the perfect circumstances to make this happen. It was a dream team of composers, orchestra, conductors, recording producers and every detail that is needed for such a project. I have actually not often experienced this kind of special synergy - and the fact that it led to this wonderful recognition makes me really thrilled.” Having embarked on a career as a solo bassoonist, both commissioning and recording are important parts of Bram’s quest to promote his passion for the versatility and expressivity of his instrument. Fagerlund and Aho put the bassoonist very much to the fore of their concertos and push the instrument’s and player’s capabilities to the extreme. An element of the inspiration for ‘Mana’ came from Bram’s version of Harlem Nocturne blues (featured on his Bassoon Kaleidoscope CD) and his ongoing quest to develop new techniques on the bassoon.

Instead of a large-scale-sonata, however, this time he com- Iposed ‘only’ a short, virtuosic violin solo piece to which he first gave the title Tumultos, submitting it – without success – for the Sibelius Violin Competition that same year. Ten years later, when he composed a solo piano piece for the Maj Lind Competition in 1985, he gave it the title Solo II and rechristened Tumultos as Solo I. By doing so, he laid the basis for his Solo series – which later, as is the case with his solo concertos, would include a work for every instrument of the orchestra.
