I love it. It isn't all that often that I hear the bassoon outside of an orchestra, much less in a duet. And while yes, there are some great bassoon concertos and some great bassoon solos in symphonic works, I love how the bassoon really stands out when the piano is the only other instrument. And the sound of the bassoon is so beautiful. It almost sounds like a clarinet when it is in its high register. But that bass register is so warm sounding. If there were such a thing as a woodwind orchestra like how there is such a thing as a string orchestra, the bassoon would be analogous to the cello, which is another instrument that really sounds warm in the bass register outside of the lower 5 notes or so where the bass part of the sound becomes prominent.
