Gary Karr - Kol Nidrei (Max Bruch) for Double Bass

Check out In The Style Of Gary Karr lesson series:

Gary Karr performs Max Bruch's arrangement of Kol Nidrei originally arranged for cello.
Gary Karr, acclaimed as "the world's leading solo bassist" (Time Magazine), is, in fact, the first solo doublebassist in history to make that pursuit a full-time career. It is a career that adds new lustre to his already lustrous 1611 Amati doublebass which was given to him by the widow of Serge Koussevitzky.
Since his debut with Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic in 1962, Karr has performed as soloist on six continents with orchestras, including the Chicago Symphony, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Montreal Symphony, Simon Bolivar Orchestra (Caracas, Venezuela), Jerusalem Symphony, Oslo Philharmonic, Zurich Chamber Orchestra, and with all the major orchestras of Australia.
On Italian cable, three Karr doublebass recitals reached 20 million classical music lovers. The numerous CDs that Gary Karr has recorded and released in Japan are "top of the recording charts" favorites in the Far East. The BBC has featured two video films of Karr, one an illumination of his life and music (Amazing Bass) and one a series for children. On his third recording with the London Symphony Orchestra, Karr performed the Concerto for Bass by John Downey. CBS Sunday Morning celebrated Gary Karr's career and the University of Wisconsin has released a video demonstrating his instructional approach to the doublebass (BASSically Karr) in addition to a special video concert for children (Karrtunes).

One of the world's greatest double bass players. What a joy to hear. May he continue to play for many more years. Paul Hart

[@taempe6932]

think he’s got at least three hearts, so beautiful. And his tone is twice as beautiful hearing it live

Garry Karr, one of the best double bass players in the world. I appreciate his Kol Nidrei through my tubeamp sound. Thanks from S. Korea!

[@MrBoybergs]

Wonderful performance. For me, the closing section seems to express a sense of determination as well as the mournful pleading I usually hear and it works superbly. Bravo!

[@bryangumm7985]

I had the privilege to study with Gary at the JISA Music Festival in Canada back in ‘88. His expression and tone were always something to aspire towards. A generosity of spirit that is very humbling. Glad to hear his playing is as vibrant and inspiring as I remember! Hope to see you again soon, my friend

Is there a site to message Gary & Harmon? I haven't seen or talked to him & Harmon since New Milford.

[@tity4100]

Sounds even better at x1.25 faster

[@alexsztoica4880]

why are you using the second finger so often, even in shifts?

[@bmodextreme]

Alex Sztoica he likes the clarity of one finger, the vibrato of the 2nd finger, and bringing out the transitions of notes as their own expressive element

[@alexsztoica4880]

@@bmodextreme i understand that and i agree that the second finger has more power because it is used more often. In my vision/opinion any string player(especially the doublebass, because it has become more aknowledged as a solo instrument) should be able to use each finger with the same dexterity and elegance so you wont have to overuse one shift or finger and you can play and express with more colors.

[@bmodextreme]

Alex Sztoica if you get the course he does clean 2 8ve vibrato scale with each finger

[@taempe6932]

it’s purpose is to mimic the voice of a singer
