HAHAHA! I love how people are complaining about this man's posture and form while they're listening to him play this. Honestly people. Listen with your ears not your eyes. Whatever he's doing on that bass, he's doing it right so suck up your smug sense of superiority and try to appreciate this for what it is: a phenomenal performance.
I've forgotten ... I've visited your interesting website. Very beautiful! I've noted there are also four CDs with an incredible repertorie. My best regards. Vito There are four interesting Cd.
BRAVO for every your videos! I don't know if you will be able to answer me. But your instrument is a Tom Martin's double bass? Probably I'm in mistake, but is very and very bright ... is it a recording question? Thanks in advance for an answer! Btw, very beautiful! Vito
The bass is not a 4/4, just so you know. Thickness has nothing to do with the size of the bass. I have encountered very small 3/4 basses and chamber basses that are just as thick, its purely stylistic and sometimes structural according to the type of bass. Furtok pays on a bass by Thomas Martin of England, a Nicola Bergonzi copy, explaining its Italian style. If you visit Furtok's website too, it shows him with it and you can see it is really not that large... 4/4's are terrifying!
what a beautiful piece. I'm going to start working on this piece after my least jury for the year. Does anyone have any advice or forewarnings for when I'm working on it?
...and? Who cares if he shoves the thing up his ass for support if he can play like this? You play where it is comfortable. Simple as that. 'Proper' form and all that is great when you are starting out but once you find the way you like to play and the way that lets you get more of you into your pieces is what should dictate your positioning not some diagram in a book based on someone who is 5 ft tall.

Grandioso!
bellissimo
Um grande mestre!! Maravihoso!
true, though it is string length and measurement that defines whether a bass falls under the paramaters of 3/4, 4/4, or 7/8
@StopTheMoti0n actually, most classical teachers would say the nut of the bass should be about eye level. looks like he is right on.
BRAVO for every your videos!

Make sure to hold the quarter notes at the end of phrases their full value

4/4 or 3/4 or 7/8 has nothing to do with size or shape. It's all about the mensure lenght.
Camcorders have a hard time picking up double bass.
Oh wow. Wow. Oooahhhminyaneekoopowwow.
(hey this "audio preview" feature can be pretty fun.)
Seriously tho, wow.
nope, it's a normal bass, playing normal notes. Notice how high he has to go on the fingerboard to get those high notes.
Wonderful!!
One question: I'm not a double bassist, does he use the F#-B-E-A tuning?
who says playing bass is boring am i right?
Who is that?
great but too fast, it's a tarantella, it's supposed to be danced. Incredible though great playing amazing
I don't know how the hell I'm gonna be able to play this. Practice, I suppose.
znakomite!
why seperating all the notes that has big leaps? the vibrato don't really connect..
...and? Who cares if he shoves the thing up his ass for support if he can play like this? You play where it is comfortable. Simple as that.
