More than 40 years, from 1965 to 2008 (since 1992 as 1st Principal Bass).

Not sure how - he wasn’t very good

[@turboturtle8977]

Which also means he was likely one of those who denied women to even participate in auditions. Not in my hall of fame. You asked for it, so here is a bit more of the truth. Speaking of this, this orchestra is notoriously known for being the last great one to accept women. I would nnot blame if those dislikes came from women. That was shameful. In the USA, Jane Little was in service at the Atlanta orchestra for 71 years. She started when she was only 16, ironically here because all men were away fighting the crazy Nazis... She is definitely in my hall of fame.

​@@turboturtle8977Je suis absolument d'accord avec vous. Il serait grand temps d'envoyer les femmes sur les chantiers, dans les métiers du bâtiment, dans les égouts, etc...

[@diegozecharies]

Klaus , you don't know, how much I miss to meet you every week, learn from you how to make music on the bass. It's a pleasure to listen to you, big , but big hug from Spain. You still being my vortbild.

[@manny75586]

His lesson of knowing the period of the music is a lesson that ALL instrumentalists can learn from. This video is great for double bassists but I believe a violinist who is still honing their craft would be well served to watch this as well. Fantastic stuff!

[@bondo5696]

An absolutely wonderful presentation.

[@7000bass]

Concert bass playing that so rocks...and what a really lovely man. Thank you.

[@LydiaLeigh]

Thanks!! He's awesome! I hope to be as good as him some day! I've only been playing for 2 years. But I strive to be the best I can be. I'm in a local Symphony.

[@jackywushengzong]

Wow, I finally knew his name! I have video recordings of Berlin Phil and whenever I look at the bass section, he's always so ethusiatic! He's like the Santa Claus (no pun intended) of the orchestra! :D

[@lingling8047]

thats cute

[@romulo-mello]

He plays extremely well. Really impressive

[@МихаилоФилиповић]

Really love the sound and the expression. One of my favorite pieces of music, It was real fun and pleasure to play it last year

[@bassplayer1966]

THIS IS REALLY AWESOME!!

[@agustinconti5461]

Truly a masterclass!!!! Bravo

[@UnequalTemperament]

Bravo! Clear and enjoyable presentation.

[@paoloalcantara2465]

[@WurstbrotOfSteel]

Meinen Lehrer in allen Ehren, aber Herrn Stoll als Lehrer, ein Traum.

[@berlinphil]

Just click on the subtitle button below the video!

@GermanoDeppe Klaus Stoll wurde kürzlich offiziell in den Ruhestand verabschiedet, spielt aber immer noch regelmäßig als Gast bei den philharmonischen Konzerten.

[@TheIArocks]

Was für ein toller Musiker!

[@wancel35]

Danke, ich bin Guitarist, aber ich habe viel gelernt mit Ihrer Video !

[@dasteufelhund]

Insightful. That is outstanding.

"La difícil facilidad de la sencillez" R. Bonilla Klaus Stoll un Maestro completo que nos enseña la importancia de la dialéctica en la música.

[@klausmelem]

Lieber Herr Stoll. Danke für diese paar unglaublich griffigen Unterrichtsminuten.

[@pokelike223]

日本語字幕ありがとう！とても助かります！

[@Biancosh]

Stoll sei il numero uno!

[@petersavage3748]

“I made a mistake on purpose”😂😂😂

[@existentialopal721]

How is that remotely funny? He did it to represent what not to do while playing the piece, and not just because. You do realize this video is part of a master class, right?

[@diamondandkitty4657]

Un maestro eccellente

[@spoonyeti]

sacré classe petit bonhomme ! Wunderbar !

[@lucazalaffi1able]

👍👍👍👍👍 Grande Maestro!!! ... (spero che torni presto a Fiesole ...)

[@elbandidomuerto]

Sehr schön!

[@ユーカリプタス-t8e]

マスタークラスを無料で鑑賞できるなんて、ベルリンフィルのサービスは素晴らしい‼️ 日本に来た時はチケット代が高くても聴きに行きます‼️

[@lauraghuey]

:) great stuff!

[@claudearthur4532]

He has a very unique way of bowing.

[@Anonymous-rp4hn]

Ya it’s not straight - looks like he is sawing away

[@claudearthur4532]

But what a lovely sound!!

[@heisenballs]

Wow......I just started on double bass. This guy is amazing....I would love to learn from him.

[@highway788]

Ach, ich liebe solche Menschen. Lebensfreudig, sympathisch und ein Genie noch dazu :P Ich hoffe in meinem Leben etwas ähnliches zu erreichen (18, Bassist). Dann würde es mir gut gehn^^

[@flippatmedbernt]

Fantastische und ich habe ein bisschen verstanden! Ich spiele Jazz Bass in ein Swing Band , und dieser Bass Spiel ist der Himmel

[@IvanLuza]

Will there be a cello master class? Please, I would die to see one of the cellist in BP give a master class!

[@muhdroni12]

Great...

[@berlinphil]

@eerbrev Subtitles will be uploaded soon, so stay tuned!

[@torealmgren3838]

[@st.k.1476]

Super!! :))

[@juniorbatistamejia5135]

Muy buena clase maestra pero necesitamos traduccion al espanol por favor.

[@richardhuter2292]

danke Klaus,auch wenn ich immer noch finde für Kammermusik ist der französische Bogen besser,das war ja auch mal ein papitostreitthema vor 20 Jahren zwischen uns ,obwohl ich zwischenzeitlich auch glaube das das egal ist,ich bin reiko

[@JinwonYoon]

[@SchumannDeppe]

Warum ist er nicht auf der Philharmonikers Website?

[@katexpero2]

:) just wondering, do you have any bassist playing with french bow?

[@danmcglaun1]

Not in the Berlin Phil...

[@Anonymous-rp4hn]

No. Nazis don’t like the French

[@Cosme422]

Amazing, but what did he say?

[@bonnie04]

+Luis Cosme If you press the "cc" button at the bottom right corner, the English subtitles will come up! :)

[@lanebrain55]

we need a tranlation

[@edirleifurtado7777]

Press to cc!

[@lanebrain55]

thanks

[@winrx]

Anyone know how long Herr Stoll has been with the orchestra?

[@yushunpei3513]

he said about it at 0:23 , already 43 years (until 2010)

[@LydiaLeigh]

I wish I knew what he was saying. I do not speak German yet...

[@eerbrev]

Is there a plan to translate this? I'd love to learn from this guy, but german is not my strong point.

[@TheBukola100]

Welcome to 2021.

[@muntzerism-diggerism9695]

Why is it that you almost never see black haired bows like the one he's using?

[@陈铎-e1m]

because the black hair has more grip on the string, but it also decreases the clearness of the notes, most solo musician do not need that strong grip but a more clear sound. However, in the orchestral settings you will see the black hair more often.

[@riguto01]

@eerbrev I think you should plan to learn German. European Classical music is much better undertood in Italian or German. Give it a try, I does not bite!!! Good luck

[@Anonymous-rp4hn]

Not sure how this guy had a job for so long

[@Anonymous-rp4hn]

@@МихаилоФилиповић he wasn’t very good
