Peter Kolkay’s new recording of music for bassoon and strings, Red Maple, takes its title from a work that Joan Tower wrote for Kolkay in 2013. Tower’s piece is joined by fellow American composer Russell Platt’s Quintet, completed in 1997. Two UK composers round out the program, with English composer Mark-Anthony Turnage’s Massarosa (2018) (another Kolkay dedication) and the Scottish composer Judith Weir’s Wake Your Wild Voice (2008), a duo for bassoon and cello. Peter Kolkay holds a distinguished place in the American music scene as the only bassoonist to have won the coveted Avery Fisher Career Award, and as an artist of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. He is joined on the recording by the distinguished Calidore String Quartet, currently quartet in residence with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.
