Bram van Sambeek | Bassoonist
”...beautiful tone, bright musical insight and a formidable technique; what more could one possibly wish for?...” De Gelderlander
”...Highlight of the CD considering both repertoire and performance is the monologue by Isang Yun. Bassoonist Bram van Sambeek makes it a gruesome story that keeps your attention during the full 11 minutes...” Luister
”...especially bassoonist Bram van Sambeek, and oboist Alexei Ogrintchouk draw the attention with playing of soloistic class...” De Volkskrant
”...Note to Gergiev: I suspect the Weber bassoon concerto isn’t really your cup of tea, but please consider rewarding the rotterdam player- or perhaps with something by Gubaidulina... ” Seen and Heard International Concert Review
