Composers: Frédéric Chopin, Sergei Rachmaninoff
Artist: Hans Roelofsen (double bass)
Say double bass and people will probably think of jazz music. In spite of pioneering composers like Bottesini and active present-day players like Dutch Hans Roelofsen and Rudolf Senn, the double-bass does not have a serious image in classical music. Maybe Saint-Saëns’ Carnaval des animaux has something to do with this.
Back in the nineteenth century there were several virtuoso performers on this instrument who also wrote music for it. Bottesini being the best-known of them. His virtuoso pieces seem to stretch the instrument with its intrinsic slowness to its limits.
The first part with recordings from 1988 gives some examples of these typical showpieces. On the second part Hans Roelofsen gives newly recorded performances of two sonatas by Chopin and Rachmaninov which were originally written for cello with piano accompaniment. These transcriptions show how versatile the double bass really is. It works surprisingly well: this is the truly romantic double bass.

Precious records. Good to listen!
아름다운 연주곡 잘 들었습니다~감사합니다~🎵🎻🎻🎹🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤
Muito bonito. Obrigada!
beautiful
Great that you have put out a nice double bass recording. The description doesn’t seem to credit any of the other musicians though, and the track listing doesn’t make clear the names or composers of most of the pieces.
Who composed the exquisite duetto for Clarinet and Double Bass? Brilliant!!!
G. Bottesini.
It's amazing!
I was just trying to find a comment that was not made 3 years ago. Lol, I was listening because I am trying to pick between bass and cello.
@@rkini CHOOSE BASS as a bass player you will not regret it. Even though cello is super cool, you could always play jazz on the bass and its more swag than the cello
@@rkini Besides this excellent recording and performance, go listen to some other bassists like Luis Cabrera, Theotine Voisin, David Desimpelaere, Wies de Boeve, Odon Racz, and Mikyung Sung, then decide. :)
@@nay6248 Indeed, I've tried a few other string instruments, but nothing beats the bass.
01:21:14 (and ahead) sounds like a transcripion of Rachmaninov´s Cello Sonata in G minor. I just love this piece. Please, give the man his credit!
have you even read the descriprion ?
Yes, I did. Although the description mentions Rachmaninov, there is no indication of the sonata title at the track list.
Mikyung Sung also has given a good live performance of this sonata with Ilya Rashkovskiy which I find musically quite compelling and exciting.
At minute 23:18 there is an editing problem, but the Maestro Hans Roelofsen is excellent!!
Lovely, but I thought it was going to be an album of bass players.
Same here.
You probably dont care but if you are bored like me atm then you can watch pretty much all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my brother recently xD
@Imran Graham definitely, I've been using instaflixxer for since december myself :D
@@zaydenluciano1124 fucking bots
I want that album cover as a t-shirt
👍👍👍!
Ja!
Where is the Allegro Mossi at the end from!?
Clarinet duo sounds a lot like the gran duo with violin
who is the bassist for these recordings? or does it vary?
I'd especially like to know for the second movement of the bottesini concerto number 2
The names of the composers are not listed next to the titles. Can that be added please?
Hello Paul! We have added the composers to the tracklist. You can find it in the description box.
@@BrilliantClassics Many, many thanks.
I thought Chopin only wrote for piano.
Nope, he wrote two piano concertos, a piano trio, a cello sonata and 17 songs for voice.
There's also been some arrangements of his pieces for other instruments.
