About
Technically, the works performed here place high demands on the players, especially when they are performed on period instruments. The range of the bassoon part, for example, is greater than that found in the Bassoon Concerto by Mozart, the Beethoven Septet and even the Octet by Schubert. The swirling passages, the enormous jumps and the daredevil modulations found in these works make them a challenge for the bassoonist as well as the pianist.
Wouter Verschuren graduated from the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, where he studied baroque and classical bassoon with Donna Agrell. He is principal bassoonist of the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra conducted by Ton Koopman, and regularly plays with other renowned period orchestras. In addition, he regularly appears as a soloist and plays in numerous international chamber music ensembles such as Caecilia-Concert, which specialize in performance and research of 17th century music.
Harpsichordist and fortepianist Kathryn Cok was born in New York, but now lives in The Hague, where she completed a Masters degree at the Royal Conservatory as a student of Ton Koopman and Tini Mathot on the harpsichord, and Bart van Oort on the fortepiano. She works regularly with the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and other important early music ensembles in Europe.
