I really love these two men !!! Dear Cat remember that this one of the most exciting live performance I've heard. Two generations in comparison. Sometimes life can be strange. But you both are MASTERS and so Love & Love!!! AMAZING !!

[@bassocat]

Thank you so much dear Vito!!! It was indeed a very nice performance 😊

[@VitoLiuzzi]

Don't worry Cat for some notes!! It's important the general sound and "idea" !!! In a live performance years ago I destroyed the first string ahahah ... I stopped the concert and I changed the string. It's live performance !!! ahah :-) !!

[@FDerrey]

I've watched and listened again the whole Mozart concerto twice since I've arrived my place. It cannot be described by words...

[@alexsf4248]

Thank you so much for playing the way Bottesini envisioned it when it was composed! A great joy to finally hear it! 🙏

Nunca vi um duo de contrabaixos igual a este! Bravo, bravíssemo!

[@bigdawg364]

thank you so much for recording this! This is truly phenomenal! Much better with 2 basses!

[@rowanpuigdavis374]

The original piece is for two basses. But you know... A disciple from Paganini transcribed the part for violin!!

[@missisana]

Impecable interpretación!!! Felicitaciones a los tres!!!!

[@Eliasdoublebass]

Fue un hermoso regalo verlo tocar . muchas gracias maestro!

[@Tresoratops]

The projection of the sound in your upper register is so crisp and clear! Lovely!

[@n1rvv]

I would LOVE to play with the mister Thomas Martin, greetings, from mexico.

[@gilbert20]

Just wonderful! Thanks you again, maestro, for giving me so much pleasure. Hope you enjoyed Argentina!

[@FDerrey]

Gracias Maestro!!

[@GretaGlass]

I tought this Duo couldn't be greater... and then you do it with two basses!

[@bassocat]

I'm glad you like it Greta! This is the original version Bottesini composed, which later he made into the more familiar violin and bass version :)

[@stephenstreetbass]

Where can I find the score for this? I'd love to have a go.

[@bassocat]

Stephen Street I believe Thomas Martin actually published his edition with IMC

[@petitecontrebassiste]

I have been trying to find the sheet music but have been unable to. is there a seller/link you could please direct me to where I could get it? thanks! wonderful performance

Fantastique!!!!!!!!!!

[@deimosvega]

Bravissimo!!!! Catalin please upload the Mozart concert you played in san juan"""

[@gilbert20]

I am sure the higher concert tuning contributes to this singing nature of the upper registers.

[@ilkercankara15]
