LUV Desiderata. I’m going to see if my duet-buddy Suzy wants to give it a try. Of course, we would have to -- shudder -- practice in order to get anywhere near
NTT: My guess is Joseph Haydn, probably an early symphony. He was generous with bass solos in that period (I believe his 7th symphony, “Le midi” has a particularly striking one.)
But if this is Haydn, why is the audio so grotty? All his symphonies have been recorded in splendid sound. Perhaps it's a Red Herring from Young Joseph.
I don't *think* this is a concerto; if it were, I suppose it could be by someone like Karl Ditters von Dittersdorf, whom I believe wrote at least one bass concerto.
To round out my bucket, I'll go with another first Viennese school-era person, but whom... Michael Haydn perhaps? Sure, why not.
NTT: My first thought was also Joseph Haydn, but for variety I'll also throw in another early symphonist with Sammartini. Also quirky enough that I wouldn't be surprised if it were C.P.E. Bach.
The podcast post-mortem was cathartic.
