Amazing artists on "unexpected" instruments

No way to deny it: not all music performing arts were born equal in
what regards the inherent glamour of the field and the sheer number of
fans. Conductors, singers, pianists, violinists, probably in this very
order (if not, by chance, singers, conductors, pianists, violinists),
get the lion's share in terms of attention. Alternate suspects: some
lucky cellists, not too many.
What I'd be interested in would be what truly amazing artists you
discovered when it came to "unexpected" instruments: not only flute,
horn, clarinet, trumpet or double-bass but also bassoon, trombone, and
whatever else instrument I can['t] think about. One (double)
qualification though: am not especially interested in - as much as I
respect them - only-orchestral instrumentalists, be them Ansermet's
favorites or not (-:, nor in outstanding virtuosos of a given
instrument (such as that crazy Russian double-bass player who performed
decently Paganini, Sarasate and Bach's Chaconne on the double-bass) but
in amazing artists, i.e., musicians with a musical vision, able to
touch the listener in ways you suspected were not accessible to
(through) that particular instrument.
Thank you for your input.
regards,
SG
