Rachmaninoff Cello Sonata (Mikyung Sung double bass, Ilya Rashkovskiy piano)

[@pbasswil]

For the most part she plays as in tune as most cellists would play it - hard to do on bass. I really appreciate this pianist, really musical.

[@redbrick9634]

Combining strength training with music making is a brilliant idea.

[@hectorc.5311]

One of the bests double bass players actually for me! It seems easy to play looking at her

I love how different voices keep emerging from both parts. Wonderful, sensitive playing.

Suprêmement beau ! Avis d'un altiste amateur dont le frère a été contrebassiste professionel et qui est un admirateur .

[@IanChristianBass]

Beyond fabulous. You are pushing our instrument to new heights. Is this a bass transcription or the original?

[@matthewv789]

I am not sure but probably just the cello part. That's what she does for the Franck.

[@NestorBellino]

Genial!!!!! Bravo!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@pascalpoussin1209]

The technical feat here is at the service of the music, bravo!!! I would like to know what bass she plays?

@@MikyungBass Dear Mikyung, I'm also double bass player, I have some questions for you, especially about position and some illness which belongs to bass player, can we talk a bit about it? Do you have email adres or WhatsApp? It's somehow important for me. Greetings Gabriel.🙏🏼🌻🌺🥀

[@kexu-q3g]

wonderful！！！I'd like to ask about the source of this score，could you tell me？

[@MikyungBass]

I just played from the cello original!

[@fraybart]

I bet she's not wearing shoes.

[@irenaolkiewicz9785]

Bravo. However... for me absolutely No. ONE for sure Catalin Rotaru/Wan Ting Yu plays Rachmaninov Cello Sonata best in the world!!! If you don't belive see on youtube "Grzegorz Olkiewicz International Music Festival" organized by Polish Society of Double Bassists in Poland, August 2023. Irena Olkiewicz🎶

I haven't been able to find that video, sadly. About the only direct comparison I can make is his studio album (Bass*c Cello Notes) compared to Mikyung's (The Colburn Sessions, on which she only played the 3rd movement). I've always felt Catalin Rotaru is one of the bassists whose interpretations are closest to how Mikyung plays (of course he was doing it first). Catalin's recording (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHa7oIdmaq50adU) is very beautiful, but Mikyung's is, to me, more colorful, more expressive, more soulful, and more intense (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZuypGygeZV7jpo).
