This is the best Bottesini concerto I've ever listened!!Edicson this is a very high level....played beatifully! veramente Bravo! big hug from Italy

[@matthewv789]

Nicola Domeniconi it is really wonderful isn’t it? I think this younger generation has huge talent compared to what we expected in the past. Another for instance is Mikyung Sung: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGqTl2ahapp7e9k

[@ceccolombat]

Ce chant de la contrebasse est d'une expressivité bouleversante. Mille mercis...

[@nicgundy]

One of the top performances of this piece I've watched. Everyone did great!

[@MrKpbass]

Wow! The first movement is hauntingly beautiful in a slower tempo.

[@CocoCakes43]

hmm one bass with 3 strings and the other with 5

[@reactancia2001]

it is a historical kind, they used to be that way

[@AcidicLifestyle]

That was when the bass was born and became part of the string family

[@federicoterenzi2382]

Bottesiini played a three chords bass

[@iancollins407]

Yeah! Give em back his string Mr. bass in the back ya silly goose!

[@salvat3735]

I've seen a few bass solos, and all the soloist have a 3 string bass. Why exactly though? Why not just have a 4 or 5 string?

[@AndrewHassel]

fantastic!!

[@lin_leaf]

the Cadenza was my favorite part. I am currently learning this song. Whenever i see you play, you have amazing phrasing and expression. I am heavily influenced by your playing Amazing performance!!!

[@jurajuraj70]

Genius.

Hasta el día de hoy mi interpretación favorita de este concierto era la de Rinat Ibragimov (en B menor). Mi nueva versión favorita es esta. Honesta y nada pretenciosa. Bravísimo. Estupenda además la primer violín, una dirección clarísima, daban ganas de tocar con ellos jajaja.

[@dapsangpalma5193]

Que quieres decir con "Honesta y nada pretenciosa"?

[@IrateGroove]

Esta interpretación es muy buena pero, siendo sincero, creo que la de el gran Ibragimov está bastante por encima...

[@GabrielOsuna]

​@@IrateGrooveEso siempre será cuestión de gustos, porque son diferentes versiones. A ninguno de los dos podría reprochársele ningún error, simplemente son diferentes versiones. En mi opinión, la versión de Edicson es la mejor interpretación del Bottesini, y he escuchado más de 25 versiones profesionales. Pero cualquiera puede tener una opinión diferente

[@IrateGroove]

@@GabrielOsuna Pues eso.

[@tubaboydany5020]

The bassist in the back looks depressed cuz he’s not playing the solo

[@maxclavenna4495]

It is a perfectly usual double bass player facial expression : I suppose it is not due to repertorie, but to the fact of carrying the instrument

[@Hillbilly_Papist]

thats what he gets for taking one of his strings

[@gregoryf4186]

@@alexv3357 not really, Bottesini music is an honor to play, no matter how hard it might be that doesn’t make it nor enjoyable to play.

[@FranciscoCastillo15]

brutal!

[@marinaoliveira431]

Very beautiful brave.

[@ChristianRetroPunk777]

C- minor is original key. Is it possible tuning up half of pitch three solo strings? (Solo part is in a- minor .) Bottesini used this tuning, but his strings was not modern metal strings.

[@mathiasurrutia71]

en que afinacion esta ese contrabajo?

[@MarcMarc7]

Bravo! 👏👏👏👏 majestuoso!

[@allismg5691]

Very refreshing in this key. However, why is it in C Minor?

[@angelchavez708]

+Aleck Belcher Iriginally it's on that key, look for the original schore.

[@CesarPeredo]

Buenísimo el solista, interesante obra, es un solo de contrabajo con acompañamiento armónico, como los conciertos de piano de Chopin, no hay un trabajo contrapuntístico. Si bien es cierto no toda obra debe de tener voces contrapuntísticas pero si hacen mas rica la música, saludos

[@andrewmargrave7518]

How did the soloist tune his 3-string bass?

[@santicruz4012]

From lowest to highest I think its B-E-A (Solo tuning without the F# string)

[@pedrocarvalho6609]

@@santicruz4012 since this version is in C minor it's tuned a minor second above solo tuning, so C-F-Bb :)

[@Pensivata]

Fantastic...but Edicson's bass needs to be a tad louder in the mix. The violin actually occludes some of his notes at times.

[@gregoryf4186]

I think there’s a couple of spots where the violin has the melody but overall I’d say she was too loud

[@gregpadilla1406]

What kind of bass is that???

[@brandanscheller6631]

Greg Padilla It's an upright or double bass ;)

[@eduardoi.pelitti8238]

The model is called "Cornerless"

[@TheBladerunner5]

Just starting to learn to play bass, and although I´ll never reach this level this is the most motivating thing I can imagine. Beside that there must be someone trolling around with 33 accounts. poor guy

[@osrub5787]

It is beautiful. Not only Edicson but the whole ensemble as well. What I don't understand, is a certain amount of unnecessary and- I dare to say- unmusical accents they do. Again, not just the soloist. I don't get it since it is absolutely clear that they all can play so well. Nevertheless, this "small" but serioulsy relevant issue take away some of the artistic meaning of the music itself.

[@zdenekpazourek1086]

I am sure all of the accents and sforzatos are written in the autograph score by Bottesini. Doesnt mean you have to do them all of course, but you cant blame the musicians for playing what is in the score.

[@gregoryf4186]

Because when people see accents they assume that it means attack but don’t think in the context of the music, which is romantic, so a romantic accent would be more bow and a lot of vibrato, not an attack

[@aaronwhite448]

played beautifully although his movements are overkill and it takes away the beauty of it

[@youraveragemex]

Now just realize his bass only has 3 strings

[@flavioos6558]

Some wonderful musicais reduce the charm of their performance by playing and dancing simultaneously wich is very distracting, Music clearly expresses itself without the aid of accented body language. Also, double bass players shoul pay special attention to the body posture. The human body can easily be deformed. Special attention to modern Ergonomics is very important for any kind of musician; instructors should guide students more properly. -- A fine performance, Senõr Ruiz!

[@gregoryf4186]

How you look while playing is half the performance, and although you can overdo the expression it’s still much better than someone who is expressionless.
