DSO principal bassoon Robert Williams performs the work of great American film and orchestral composer John Williams! Penned “The Five Sacred Trees,” his concerto for bassoon and orchestra is a naturalist, beautiful, contemporary musical gem, taking inspiration from the Earthly power and magic associated with ancient Celtic mythology. With a remarkable career spanning more than 40 years as the John and Marlene Boll Principal Chair in the Motor City’s prestigious ensemble, Robert Williams’ signature sound can be heard on legendary recordings with the DSO under Antal Dorati, Neeme Järvi, Leonard Slatkin and more. Recorded on Naxos Portara. Pre-order on iTunes today and be first to get it on July 3, 2015!
