They can't play this piece on the violin because they are to fucking lazy to practice hours of tedious slow practice. Or they didn't develop their martele ricochet and fast runs yet.
***** I was just wondering which strings you are using (brand etc.) for this? I have checked your other videos but couldn't find an answer. I am currently looking for new solo strings, at the moment I have Corelli 360 medium tungsten for the A-E-B strings and XL tungsten for the F-sharp string. I cannot see the ball end or peg end colors so I cannot look them up. Thanks in advance!
Everytime that I watch your videos I become Impressed... I never had a rockstar idol, but man.... You are amazing teacher,person and bassplayer! Congratulations! (Augusto from MIMU/Brasil)
@johnflaherty219 thanks John for your super nice comment! Ranking is not important for me; showing the awesomeness of the bass as a true solo instrument, is. Thanks for listening and best wishes!
dupa 3 zile de transpus si doua saptamani de "cercetare" vad videoclipul acesta si pe cat imi pare de rau ca nu am facut lucrarea primul, pe atat imi pare de bine ca a fost facuta si cantata la adevarata valoare in prima auditie. Felicitari!
@bassocat thank you!!!!!!!and by the way this is of an extreme beauty,can't stop listening to it over and over,it is always a pleasure to hear great music and without a doubt to hear such challenging works on our instrument,bravo maestro!!!!!
Oh my dear maestro, thank you for this. I see you have spent your time in Portugal well. You do indeed show the bass is a true solo instrument. But in order to do that, you have had to achieve a level of perfection. I love this chord progression--it is not just melancholy, but bittersweet. And the way you make the G string sing--up high, oh my! I have never seen your left thumb work so hard, too. Thank you, be well, and best wishes always. Gil
How wonderful...amazing! I was looking for cello versions, heard two or three and thought it wasnt worth it (compared to the original). Now hearing yours teaches me wrong. You must have mixed in some magic to make it work out so beautifully. Thanks a lot!
I'm workin' on this hard piece on my violin, I wondered if I could play it with the required relaxation. And now I see you playin' it on a double bass, You're worse for my mentality than every asian child in this world. Great, great work, great interpretation, otherwise ...
Hello! I hope to play the double bass like you someday!/ Hola, espero que algún día pueda tocar el contrabajo como usted! Excelente interpretación!!! Saludos desde México! :)
@immabassist yes indeed, I do have an extended fingerboard; I suppose you can play those high notes with a regular fingerboard but the sound quality will suffer a bit. Good luck wit it, it's a great piece!
Congratulations Catalin Rotaru for pushing again the limits of this wonderful instrument! Anyone knows if he's using the standard tuning (EADG) or an other one?
Thank you for listening and I'm truly happy you like it! I never made a double bass transcription and just like with the other transcription pieces I perform, I use the original
Great job! This piece seems quite difficult in double bass though... thanks for sharing =) To be honest, this piece is 100% perfect in violin and you played 99% in double bass(The 1% is the part in around 5 minute, you played slower than the original, maybe you were only making it stylish) Really gd:)
Wait.. I thought it was a cello...
Double Bass WTF...
I can't even play it well enough on violin...
YOu are really GREAT
Kreisler would be so proud! :')
Some people cant play this on violin, but you play it on double bass!!!! It's perfect, your tehnique is unique!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You :)
They can't play this piece on the violin because they are to fucking lazy to practice hours of tedious slow practice. Or they didn't develop their martele ricochet and fast runs yet.
three years later , and it's still on fire...Thanks Catalin!!
You have to really love the bass to ever consider learning this song
Amazing intonation and performance!
I’m by myself in my home and just gave you a standing ovation!
Incredible-I will listen & watch a million times!!!
Bravo, Maestro!
better than any version I've heard played on the violin
thanks for your kind comment :-)

is the solo part writen on the original key or for solo tuning?
Congratulations Catalin Rotaru for pushing again the limits of this wonderful instrument! Anyone knows if he's using the standard tuning (EADG) or an other one?
Many thanks 🙏
I was using solo tuning strings, A E B F#
@@bassocat Thank you for your quick reply, and please keep uploading your amazing performances on TH-cam, so we can all enjoy them! :)
How can you even play the cadenza?
Excellent playing. Do you remember coming to Aurora IL in 1999 to play a recital? We remember it well.
yes, I actually do remember :)
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing!!! How can we get the sheet music?
Thank you for listening and I'm truly happy you like it! I never made a double bass transcription and just like with the other transcription pieces I perform, I use the original
just Rotaru School!
:D
Do you play on violin or piano? :-)
no, never played another instrument :)
Is Spirocore solo and Evan Pirazzi solo on your bass?
somebody else asked the same question, so look at the answer below :-)
Zertifiziert intergalaktischen!
Hi Catalin is there sheet music for this?
Hi Jan, unfortunately, there is no bass transcription, I just used the violin part
What a great contrabass... Oh no, I meant contralto!
Great job! This piece seems quite difficult in double bass though... thanks for sharing =) To be honest, this piece is 100% perfect in violin and you played 99% in double bass(The 1% is the part in around 5 minute, you played slower than the original, maybe you were only making it stylish) Really gd:)
Que manera extraordinaria de acariciar la música....Felicidades....
