Serge Koussevitzky: Concerto for d-bass and Orchestra. 2nd and 3rd movement. Played by Rinat Ibragimov with Miriam Leskis, piano. Rinat plays a d-bass by Matheus Albany, a gift from his colleague and friend Alexander Stepanov. He uses Pirastro Solo Eudoxa strings. Rinat's website is at www.ibragimov.co.uk

I'm not criying, there's a Rinat in my eye.

its a gloriousl day here in Capetown, after a cycle and a swim in the sea... a wonderful coffee and Rinat..life is beautiful!

Most definitely one of the finest bassist of our times.

[@pinosevera]

Amazing sound I agree, he played cello before playing bass, maybe that is the reason

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@pinosevera Of course you can tune a Double Bass in 5ths with the new 5ths Tuned Bass String set.

[@nonosquare1066]

as they should

[@matthewv789]

@@pinosevera Interesting, so did Mikyung Sung, and I’ve always thought her playing is much more cello-istic (lightly melodic and with clear, bright overtones) and less like a typical bass player (rough, gruff, and lugubrious, usually).

[@alliou2871]

the vibrato is amazing

[@ricardostein3302]

An outstanding musician bass-player ! He plays wth the "legerte" of a Cellist without losing the particularities of of the double bass

[@anthonycasolari9415]

What he does at the ending of the 2nd movement is simply astounding. Taking it up another octave... It's inspired me to do the same for my audition in February. Rinat's rendition of any of the bass concertos I've seen are always exquisite.

[@federicoandre5717]

This is actually common practice among many bass players, to do this section in harmonics. The first time I heard about this was back in the 90's, in a master class with the late Lucas Drew, where he suggested to try it this way.

[@isaacsanchez8328]

I know this comment is old but Koussevistky does it in his own recording

[@manny75586]

Simply gorgeous lush tone. Perfect for this piece really.

[@Leungy12252]

you have such a great lyrical voice and of course bond tone from the bass. And this is what makes a bass sound as much as beautiful as the cello does.

[@hwk194103]

English Machine Translation: the best performance from all I hear is amazing !!!!!! !!!!!!!!! BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@matthewv789]

You might like hearing Mikyung play these movements, even though they are just a low-res cellphone of her practicing in a noisy practice room with poor acoustics. But they manage to be at least the equal of this anyway.

[@TheFreebasslessons]

Well played!! breath taking.

[@revorrah]

Great balance b/t solo bass and piano accompaniment! Bravo!

It's Solo Fourths Tuning. The Strings for this Tuning are slightly thinner than Orchestral Double Bass Strings. Many players tuned them to Orchestral tuning to get a different sound.

[@dioiod]

very good, congratulations.

Great! That's Koussevitzky.

BEST !!!!

[@SK_Zen]

Those octaves at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="125">2:05</a> are just impossible to get, yet he has them so perfectly. Sigh.

[@matthewv789]

Mikyung does them with scary effortlessness too (though she has to stretch her tiny hand like crazy to reach it).

[@Awqkened903]

Bro how is it effortless if you have to stretch like crazy 💀

[@leoncioviolin]

GREAT

[@jordanmiller42]

He really nailed the harmonics. And everything else, of course, but the harmonics were what caught my ear.

Mikyung Sung… (when properly recorded in a decent acoustic at least). Expression and intensity like no one else. But also Luis Cabrera Martin, David Desimpelaere, Wies de Boeve, Odon Racz, Boguslaw Furtok, Michael Wolf, Minje Sung, Eugene Levinson in the past, and more.
