Ödön Rácz & Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra - Bottesini Concerto for Double Bass No.2

Ödön Rácz and the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra Live Concert 30.09.2020 Müpa Budapest
Mozart: Divertimento in D major, K. 136
Bottesini: Concerto for Double Bass No. 2 in B minor
Bartók: Divertimento, Sz. 113, BB 118
Rácz and the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra are old acquaintances: the bassist was only 12 years old when he first took the stage with the ensemble. Together with a storied international record label, they recently recorded a joint album that includes, along with works by Nino Rota and Astor Piazzolla, a composition by the Romantic musician Giovanni Bottesini, known as the 'Paganini of the double bass'. Rácz will now again be playing music by this great Italian intimate of the soul of the instrument, this time his concerto for double bass in B minor, in which all of his virtues as an instrumentalist will sparkle, from the nimble runs and figurations to the melting tone and lyrically singing melodies. The chamber orchestra will bookend this soloistic achievement with two immortal masterpieces. Listening to their animated playing, one can easily start to ponder how the divertimento, as a genre, conveyed a much different meaning in the 18th century, when Mozart composed his popular D major piece (K.136) buzzing with joie de vivre than it did in the 20th, when Bartók - in the ominous summer of 1939 - wrote his famous Divertimento, with light and graceful melodies studded with marked accents in the opening movement, an energetic finale with a folk dance character and - in the pensive slow movement between the two - with grave and dramatic philosophical depth. Mozart, Bottesini and Bartók - three diverging faces of music at a single concert that promises to be an extraordinary one.

Every bassist I've seen perform this piece makes it sound like a completely different piece

[@_richardleon]

yesh

[@orlandoavogadro]

[@josephtanzi5219]

Agreed… I think it’s wonderful to hear all the interpretations. Considering how accessible all the recordings are it’s amazing that players aren’t “conforming” to a single interpretation and instead making it their own.

[@MotoMoto-ld9gi]

The tempo makes all the difference for the first movement. Players like Odon Racz play the written tempo which makes it sound way more melancholic than, for example, Edgar Meyer.

[@matssundman9360]

GREAT! PAX!

[@lginc3290]

Incredible and just wonderful!

[@yunjichoi9160]

Ödön Racz gut👍!! I haven't heard this song in a long time. The Bottessini con. No. 2 was performed during my college graduation performance. Right now, my health is bad, so neither kb🎻 nor pf🎹 can do anything. Also, the phrase 'gesundheit vor allem andren' is correct;; (By the way, the last note of the first bar of the 1 mov- Wasn't it D#😶?)

[@fruitytrue]

12:10 so beautiful 😍

[@Pensivata]

what a pity all those musicians have to wear those totally useless 'mark of the sheep' masks.. but it takes noting away from Odon, of course..

[@marttigenevet2205]

I was at your concert in Helsinki, Finland. The sound is just as amazing than then. Who is the maker of your bass?

[@doublebassplayer]

Michael Ignatius Stadlmann 1781 Vienna ❤️

[@nigelsmith6430]

I had the pleasure of watching this concert live at the Müpa! The sound live in the hall was phenomenal! Gives me a lot of inspiration! :D Thank you!

[@doublebassplayer]

Thanks 🙏 😍

[@tomatehostil]

[@ionutzamfir5794]

Congratulations for the wonderful sound and fantastic performance ! 💐🍾🥂

[@johanndanzer1990]

Sehr guter Sound-und der Solist mit einer Perfektion-unglaublich Der Kontrabass muss noch extra erwähnt werden-der Stadelmann hält locker jeden Vergleich mit einem „alten Italiener“ stand!!

[@willemklose]

[@francem.124]

The cadenza part gives me chills

[@dyno9676]

Does anyone know how his bass is tuned?

[@chrollium6111]

Solo tuning possibly? F#, B, E, A?

[@Symphing12]

Yes, that exactly

[@MsBossio]

Wooooow ¡¡¡ Fantastico Maestro, Muchas Gracias.

Ez igen ! 42.000 megtekintésből 65 hozzászólás. ...de sokan nem írnak semmit sem irígységből, és rosszindulatból... pedig ami jó, az jó. Nem lehet letagadni. Gratulálok ez tényleg jó volt.

[@LucasMGamer56]

Double Bass sounds so beautiful

[@lr4917]

incrível!!!!

[@andreashoppe1969]

Wundervoll! Hat der Bass eine Standard- oder eine Solo-Stimmung?

[@doublebassplayer]

Danke ....Solo -Stimmung @Thomastik Belcanto 🙏

[@petersipos2153]

Congratulations!!! I think this is the best version of the Bottesini concerto what i ever heard

[@matthewv789]

It is very good (as always with Odon!) Another I like very much is Mikyung Sung (in case you haven’t heard it yet.) The orchestra in that one is not so good though. (I think it was an amateur or semi-pro pickup orchestra for the competition.)

[@tivadarmohacsi5005]

Fantasztikus volt a koncert Ödön 😊

[@nrouzbeh]

You make it too damn easy that's why to me you are the most pleasurable to listen and see, absolute legend ❤️❤️

[@topquark22]

As a student of orchestration, this has helped me to gain a better understanding of this instrument,. Thank you.

[@PokeMC713]

that bass seems a bit big, no?

[@slombardiGD]

Yeah it’s supposed to be

[@erik_stein]

So is the man! Looks to be perfectly sized to me.

[@MrDanilop45]

Love ❤️

[@CoConut_Head09]

[@Monotheist575]

Fantastic!

[@倉持清-r5h]

Vielen Dank für Ihre wundervolle Leistung! Diese Genauigkeit ist live erstaunlich! Guter Ton Die Aufregung der Musik ist auch die beste. Es ist ein Super Modell von h-moll Konzert.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@doublebassplayer]

Danke sehr mein lieber Freund! Hoffentlich wir sehen uns nächstes Jahr in Tokyo!❤️

[@倉持清-r5h]

@@doublebassplayer Natürlich würde ich Sie gerne nicht nur in Tokio, sondern wenn möglich auch in Wien treffen !!❤️❤️❤️

[@АльфиЮдьевич-ц3е]

Rinat Ibragimov plays better in two times

[@eblackbrook]

Wonderful performance! Though I too wonder, why no mask? It does not send a very good message.

[@gregoryf4186]

Because when you shift with a mask on your fingers can get caught on the bands, I’ve had a first hand experience with it, the good thing was I was just warming up

[@irishredsetter1523]

Er sendet genau das richtige Signal!
