Dittersdorf - Double Bass Concerto

Listen to more from the LSO here: apple.co/lso
Rinat Ibragimov, principal double bass of the London Symphony Orchestra, together with Catherine Edwards, performs Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf's Double Bass Concerto, originally written in Es Major but performed here a semitone lower.
This popular piece of double bass repertoire is commonly called for in auditions, and here Rinat demonstrates its performance using the original bass part and the Viennese Tuning that would have been in vogue at the time of its composition.
Rinat plays a d-bass by Matheus Albany, a gift from his colleague and friend Alexander Stepanov. He uses Pirastro Eudoxa strings.
Watch Rinat's performance of Vanhal's bass concerto here:

I don't think I've ever heard a bass sound that beautiful. jesus.

[@J89454]

For sure, Dittersdorf´s soul in whatever celestial world it is inhabiting, was thrilled to hear this performance by Rinat Ibragimov.

[@peteacher52]

Gorgeous middle movement! Casals was right when he stated that slow passages show more of a player's skill and control than the flashier faster movements. Total respect to both bassist and pianist.

[@LondonSymphonyOrchestra]

@PorcupineFloyd68 Thanks for your comments. What Rinat was trying to emphasise was that these pieces were originally written in Es Major. His performance here is in D Major due to the problems associated with transposing the entire accompaniment. I've clarified the descriptions to make this clearer.

[@13BASSIST]

[@malcolmabram2957]

I love classical/baroque music, and have listened for years. These two have caused me to discover (by chance) two new favourites. Vanhal and Dittersdorf.

[@Vincemusicchannel]

Rinat and the pianist, should be given equal credit. They are both excellent!

About 50,000 pianists can sound like this. About 5 bass players in the world can sound like this.

Not only virtuosity and light, but also very espiritual! Bravo Rinat!

[@justiceross5804]

I don't know if you'll ever see this, but I'm a bassist in 11th grade and hoping to continue music professionally. I just wanted to say that you are quite possibly my favorite bassist ever, and you're definitely my inspiration to push myself harder. Your music is truly amazing and the beauty and tone you get out of the bass is phenomenal. Thank you for all of these great videos, I watch them a lot more then I'm willing to bet most kid my age consider normal heheh. Anyway, I'm a huge fan.

This is fantastic, i have never seen such finger movements and grasp of the strings,God bless you and add you more strength and vigour.

[@michaelrefvem5138]

Hey listen kid. If you want to make it as a professional bassist, you go out and you do it. Don't take any crap from anybody. But work your freakin ass off. If you want it, you can do it. I am currently a grad student pianist at Manhattan School of Music. When I was your age, I wouldn't have believed I would make it this far. I am proof that it can work with a lot of hard work and dedication. Also, I was really good friends with this kid in high school who now plays bass in Cleveland Orchestra.

[@fishlemonade2114]

This inspired me to order the music and tune my spare bass to Viennese tuning and give it a try. I'd learned it years ago in standard tuning, but this version is so much better.

[@Mikeinatorable]

17 year old here--I've been working on this piece for three years. I got the music for it near Christmas in 2009 and I still don't have it where I want it. I'm happy with it, but not satisfied. It's my baby; you come to love the pieces that take the most out of you to play, but that doesn't mean it gets any easier. Learning it was easy--you can learn it completely within a month if you work at it every day. But learning it is just the first step of a very, very long journey.

An absolutely stunning performance. All credit to Catherine Edwards. She accompanies Rinat's playing with aplomb. As a side note, ah hell to it the pun is intended 🤣. I'd love to hear Victor Wooten play this on electric bass guitar. I think he'd thoroughly enjoy playing it.

[@kdbass86]

Amazing playing, and love the use of Viennese Tuning. The description says Rinat uses Pirastro Eudoxa strings, my question is what does he use for the top A string? I have been unable to find a Eudoxa high A string so I'm assuming he is using either a G string tuned up or a high C string tuned down? Hope to see even more of his early music clips in the future. Cheers!!!
