most bassists use the "Ludwig" arrangement instead of of Koussevitzky's score for a couple reasons: -a myriad of typos, misprints, and entire lines of incorrectly transposed music for clarinet and horn. -the original orchestration makes the bass play over forces larger than a lot of violin concertos, which is impossible to do well live, even with amplification.
@@tchaikoffkey didnt Koussevitzky own/operate a printing company though, so thats interesting for his score to have such typos and errors. I heard he kept this concerto in score form on manuscript paper but never made it printed out
Nothing is "too high" for the doublebass, I'm double bassist myself and i know what I'm talking about. It simply projects a sound a lot better, than in the lower positions. Because of this, composer exploits the middle and upper ranges of his instrument, so that his instrument wouldn't be overshadowed by woodwind-tinged orchestration. Doublebass isn't very loud instrument, despite it's size. Look at the description of this video for the explanation. After all, this is the concerto, not an orchestral excerpt. Any other stupid questions?
Because Koussevitzky was a Double Bassist and there aren't that many Double Bass Concertos as Cello Concertos or Violin Concertos etc. Also, The double bass produces a richer, heavier yet prettier sound. Besides, it's not too high. The double bass can hit those notes just like the cello and viola like you mentioned.
Excellent....Strong.....BRAVO from Acapulco!

Nice to hear this, thanks Bartje for posting

Stupendo Maestro buona giornata a tutti
Dvorak anyone?
Lol yep I said that when I encountered this piece.
Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for this fantastic thrilling post👍👏👏👏👏
I believe in this recording Karr is using Koussevitsky’s bass.
17:05 The Solo Bass can actually play the Tutti Passages with the Bass section.
very interesting read , thanx....
Quite a drastic revision of orchestration. If nothing else, it's interesting to compare.
No one can make the bass sing like Mr. Karr. He is the best.
Amen you can say that again!
The score is VERY different from the performance provided.
Isn't that obvious?

👏👏👏👏👏
Alongside Pierre Boulez, Esa Pekka-Salonen and Leonard Bernstein in the conductors-composers list
Boulez is a time beater.

It's so high for CB… Why didn't he just write it for cello or even a viola?

Even if they play the same note the body and color of that same note Is different and that distintic sound can transmit diferent feelings
Non mi piacciono i colori di tutto l'insieme, sarà una scelta.
Tuttavia ottimo suono
