Really excellent and unique performance. The soloist it outstanding-- everything's so beautifully articulated-- and the way he takes the opening without vibrato is cool because the arpeggios ring out in a clean, pure way. And I agree with others, the orchestra sounds unusually engaged and sensitive. I'm surprised it's a youth orchestra. Just a great job all around.
The way the orchestra interacts with Edicson is amazing. They don't sit there and play background music, they really accompany him in a wonderful way. It makes the music so much more alive...
Oh I forgot to say that the orchestra have the most wonderful sound. Carl Maria Von Dittersdorf is one of my favourite composers. I note just before the end of the Cadenza how the instrument resounds and carries on the note for ages after the bow leaves the string. Magnificent conducting also.
Escuchar esta obra de von Dittersdorf y otras de Botesini, me llenan de asombro. Me hacen imaginar un elefante bailando ballet, (con todo respeto mi analogía), un instrumento que hace como el piso de la música con sus tonos graves y su voz profunda, haciendo de primera voz, simplemente me maravilla. Hermosas obras de von Dittersdorf y otros grandes maestros que dirigieron su creatividad a este patito feo de la orquesta, el Contrabajo.
The most beautiful playing on the Double Bass imaginable. The Bass without playing a note is beautiful to look at. I wonder who made it and when. Thank you for sharing your great gifts with us. Who is the Bass player. It is a most beautiful sounding instrument too. I know that the Bass varies in size more than other string instruments. Is it slightly smaller than a normal bass. Please share what you know with me please.
Thank you Daniel, I never knew as a cellist that there was such a thing as a 6 let alone a 7 stringed bass. It must have been a huge bass. Are there photos of these instruments about?
Excelente!!! qué lindo que es es cálido sonido del contrabajo... lástima que sea tan caro y tan dificil de dominar! Por eso, a músicos hobistas, les recomiendo también el violoncelo, que también es hermoso, y mucho más ductil.
his is an Italian bass from the 1700s but the no corners design I believe comes from the shape of the guitara moresca which is actually a late medieval spanish instrument.
amazing......also to my ears and fingerings used here the bass is tuned in Viennese tuning isn't it, which obviously makes everything easier to play than in standard tuning!
Oh, der Kopfsatz ist ja ganz schön flott angegangen - aber trotzdem nicht oberflächlich, also das Orchester hat in der Tat ein sehr hohes Niveau!! Höre das Konzertchen immer wieder ganz gerne. :-)
@dragonreborn888 You cannot be more right. Funny thing is the he knows, he says that's the way he learned to play. Source: My teacher knows him and he told me they have talked about this.
no, in the 18th century you could see 3,4,5,6 or 7 stringed double basses. There was no set standard back then. It was only near the end of the industrial revolution around 1860's or 1870's when basses were traditionally 4 stringed instruments.
Lo que sería interesante es saber cómo esta afinado, porque creo que lo tiene en scordatura. La prima, segunda y tercera, parece que están en A, F dur i D, ¿no?. Asín cuarquiera.
It is, I had a lesson with one of Gary Karr's former students (gary always stood when he played) he talked a lot about solid,erect posture. He also pointed out that it's "OK" to bend over the instrument for high notes as long as the spine is straight. A curved spine is bad for so many things, including bass. If you want to see truly bad posture (coming from the principal bassist of one of the best orchestras in the world) just watch anything by Rinat Ibragimov.
There are 2 types of contrabass bow: one is French bow that is almost similar to cello style, and here is (a type) of German bow. Maybe he used a German bow that fits with the piece's composition era.
@@adriepram ah. I play bass too, French bow, I was mostly referring to the tightness. But it must've been like you said - a bow to fit the compositions time
@@heyoworld_ That's actually called "Dragonetti Bow" based on the Viola Da Gamba bow. That was a design that preceded the German Bow that we know this day. I play with German Bow, that's why I came to hear about this curiosity lol. More info here: www.paolobenelli.com/en/didactics/dragonetti-style-bow/
