The contrabassoon is the larger version of the more common bassoon, and plays a full octave lower, adding considerably to the natural grumpiness of its cousin. Not surprisingly, concertos for this instrument are rare, but one of the leading contemporary composers, Finland's Kalevi Aho, wrote one in 2005. It is played by Lewis Lipnick with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra under Andrew Litton on BIS.
