BTHVN2020 - Symphony No. 5: Odon Racz Doublebass Player (official Video)

The Salzburg Festival is the world’s leading festival of opera, music and drama. The summer of 2020 marks the centenary of its foundation. Although this year’s Festival is shorter than usual, with in some cases an entirely new programme, there will be at least one outstanding symphonic highlight, when Riccardo Muti will celebrate the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth with a performance of the great Choral Symphony no. 9 in D minor op.125 with the Vienna Philharmonic, the Concert Association of the Vienna State Opera Chorus and a hand-picked team of soloists.
The Vienna Philharmonic’s principal doublebass player Ödön Racz will also be taking part in this performance, of course, when he will lead the double-bass section. For us he has made an exemplary recording of the recitative’s famous theme from the start of the final movement.
------------------------------
Few other symphonic themes are as popular as the opening of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. For doublebass players, conversely, another passage in this famous “Symphony of Fate” has acquired a particular significance: the beginning of the third movement, the Allegro. Ödön Racz, the Vienna Philharmonic’s principal double-bass player, is making his own personal contribution to the Beethoven celebrations of 2020 by performing this interesting excerpt from the perspective of a double-bass player.

Dear Ödön, Thank you, the best performance!!!!

Fantastisch!! Sehr gut, tolle Sounds! Vielen Dank

[@gavrinmahaffey3656]

Marvelous!

[@colincbass414]

I love the playing, absolute musicianship, tone and phrasing. I’m very appreciative that DG is teaming up with Odon to record orchestral excerpts. But my biggest complaint is that he’s doing it on his solo bass in solo tuning. I would really like to hear this on his orchestral bass.

why do you play excerpts in solo tuning?

my double bass sounds better with a solo string💪

not the most powerful sound. surprising.

[@matthewv789]

Oh you again, always the critic. The better the player, the less you like their playing, I’ve noticed.

[@alfieharries]

Solo strings on a small bass. Surprised you - the best double bassist on the planet - didn't know that. Bit of a rookie knowledge gap, dont you think? XD

[@Anonymous-rp4hn]

@@alfieharries that's his orchestral bass. It is not a small bass. The string length is 42"

[@alfieharries]

@@Anonymous-rp4hn you can have a long string length on a lunch box and not get a big sound. Use your eyes - it's a fairly small bass with solo strings on it. You've obviously never used solo strings so let me fill you in - they tend not to produce alot of low end.
