Casual video of Bottesini's Gran Duo. Alina Ibragimova - violin (Pietro Guarneri, Pirastro Passione strings) Rinat Ibragimov - double bass (Albani, a gift from his friend Alexander Stepanov, Pirastro Eudoxa-solo strings) Grace Mo - piano
Rinat I have so much respect for you. When you had a stroke and never played again I literally almost gave up my career. You are such a hero to me. I know people who have a personal relationship with you. They say you toke this and turned it positive. Your trying to play the bass again. I really admire and respect you. You a hero to me 100000000000%.
Just realized that both Alina and Rinat are playing from memory. Playing solo works by memory is one thing but chamber music? And specifically this? Just wow.
I can't imagine anything good for when Alina performed anything but perfect recital growing up, but the smile on their faces and bond they share of music shows us it was all worth it. Their family must be such amazing musicians haha
He's a fabulous bass player, as well as having an amazing bass and bow. He's playing very high harmonics with perfect accuracy, a trait hard to find in any bass players, but Rinat is truly amazing.
In Siberia, they tell stories of a Russian bear known as "Irkuiem" or "the God Bear", who is taller than a man at the shoulder; a beast which all other beasts fear. We have found him.
Thank you for posting this. I genuinely enjoyed listening and also seeing the three of you play. Very good musical chemistry between you two string players. Fantastic.
I still like this very much, but why not? I gave more attention to the pianist this time. She really did a nice job too. I would imagine that an accompaniment with long stetched of nothing would be difficult.
On devrais interdire à la perfection d'exister, car le son qui sort de vos instruments l'égale de loin et mes larmes sont sorties toute seules... un pur instant d'émotion... magnifique, splendide, merveilleux... sortit d'un rêve... il n'y a pas d adjectif pour qualifier un si beau trio... bravo...
@@bobsmith7234 no. I am a cello, and I love the sound of the double bass. I love it so much that I am even working on a double bass concerto because of its beautiful tone. Its those damn violinists who think their instrument is above all others! I'm just kidding, but me as a cellist, I love the double bass
It is not common to find such a taste along with precision in execution in double bassist, cheers to you, sometimes ones sees the Music, behind all that wood and steel and horse hair, sweat and patience.
Rinat, you were and still are one of my biggest inspirations, i hope to be as good as you one day. May you play again someday, and until we meet again May you rest in peace
Es Bottesini!!! Los grandes musicos pueden resucitar el alma del compositor y durante la musica ellos ya no existen. Existe Bottesini. Esto es el arte, bravo!
This is absolutely stunning - unbelievable virtuosity from both players in a piece which is quite decent musically too, very much a showpiece but not just that. I don't know when the video was made, but Alina is now 38 and pursuing a concert career of the very greatest distinction. Seeing her live, with an orchestra or playing chamber music with the Chiaroscuro Quartet or the pianist Cedric Tiberghien, is an unforgettable experience. 🎻
I hear where you are coming from. I play bass guitar and, well, it is nothing remotely close to impressive next to this. I tip my hat and ask if they need me to carry anything for them.
Огромное спасибо вам! Ринат вы со своей дочкой просто шикарно заучите!! Осталось только снова сыграть в Большом Театре)) И еще раз ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО Вам за вклад в контрабасовое искусство!
Pierre Hellouin. Absolument fantastique. Remarquable interprétation. De plus, la maitrise techniques de ces trois instrumentistes, laisse croire qu'il n'y a aucune difficulté technique, le tout ajouté à un immense talent. Toute mon admiration, notamment au contrebassiste. BRAVO et mille fois Bravo.
Hey Joey, I am not a violinist, but a bassist currently working on this piece. This isn't exactly standard rep. like the Koussevitsky and Dittersdorf concertos, but it is quite popular. It is as technically difficult as it is aurally beautiful, which makes it a very rewarding piece to play. I don't know where you are in your playing career, but it makes a great recital piece for college and above. Best of Luck. -Connor H.
Mi impresión: duas geniales marionetas amaestradas ao máximo, o compositor: genial é totalmente estressado, talvez o gran poder que paira sobre todos ellos. No consigo mas entender esse poder, pero.....muy bueno!
I've only been playing violin for 3 months, following Suzuki method. Musicians like these wonderful people, they inspire me to improve. Thanks for posting this :)
Who is the pianist? I hate it when other instrumentalists think they are so irrelevant as to not merit being mentioned at all. Or maybe she wanted to be anonymous.
+Maria Corley What about the piano? I hate it when other instruments think they are so irrelevant as to not merit being mentioned at all. Or maybe it wanted to be anonymous. (Something like that? ;)
Nous traversons LA MUSIQUE de plein pieds avec ces excellents interprètes que sont Rinat Ibragimov à la contrebasse et Alina Ibragimova , sa fille , au violon, tandis que nous ne pouvons les déranger alors que eux , oui , nous bousculent musiqu'amicalement par leur total lâcher prise dans leur expression de noblesse d'expression des sentiments par le langage miraculeux de si belles musiques ....
