This is so incredible. I have to ask, since I have been trying to learn this concerto on bass, how are you able to play the high treble clef notes in octave? For example, the high E flat?

It is so good

Классно, если бы вибрация была бы не такая мелкая , то был бы как Ибрагимов , но с другой стороны кто я такой что бы учить, Замечательное исполнение, были бы открыты границы я уверен что звание лучшего контрабасиста мира обеспечено, классно играешь, мне бы так
Looking at most orchestral parts, it's easy to forget what a good bass player is actually capable of. Truth be told, I prefer the above arrangement to the original. What a pity that Shosty never wrote a double bass concerto; I think it would have been right up his alley.
thank you very much I am very pleased. this arrangement almost does not differ from the original, I learned the concerto from cello notes. the bass solo tuning does not always allow playing cello chords, as cellists have other open strings, and I had to play some notes an octave higher. it is a pity that Shostakovich did not write a concerto for double bass, I agree. maybe if he knew the real possibilities of double bassists, he would have written
