Bottesini Gran Duo for double bass and violin

[@anthonywilsongolf]

Fun fact: the original piece was written for two double basses. The violin part was transcribed by Camillo Sivori, Paganini's student.

Rinat I have so much respect for you. When you had a stroke and never played again I literally almost gave up my career. You are such a hero to me. I know people who have a personal relationship with you. They say you toke this and turned it positive. Your trying to play the bass again. I really admire and respect you. You a hero to me 100000000000%.

[@JazzicalLiks]

Just realized that both Alina and Rinat are playing from memory. Playing solo works by memory is one thing but chamber music? And specifically this? Just wow.

[@CesarJoseee]

Rinat is a god on the double bass.

RIP, god.

[@user-wk2gi5cp9y]

Until we meet again, Mr. Ibragimov. For now, rest in peace.

[@awd587]

They must be one of the most musically talented families ever!

[@michaeljasso10]

I can't imagine anything good for when Alina performed anything but perfect recital growing up, but the smile on their faces and bond they share of music shows us it was all worth it. Their family must be such amazing musicians haha

[@silverlicious2086]

Incredible performance. No words can be... or ever will be found to describe this moment in musical history.

[@nicomegaone]

He's a fabulous bass player, as well as having an amazing bass and bow. He's playing very high harmonics with perfect accuracy, a trait hard to find in any bass players, but Rinat is truly amazing.

[@AndrewDowns97]

casual my ass, this is the best video of the grand duo

[@devina_db]

Hey Andrew

[@MichaelStoff]

Breath taking Virtuosity combined with heavenly sounding Instruments...wonderful and inspiring😊❤

[@gillesmartin4805]

Je ne me lasse tout simplement pas d'écouter ce grand duo de Bottesini , magnifiquement interprété ici ! Merci beaucoup 😘

[@andreisvirkov]

R. I. P. We love you, Rinat.

[@ГерманЧернявский-ч6ж]

Браво Брависсимо! Верх совершенства исполнительского искусства! Комментарии просто излишни. Браво брависсимо!

[@tempestlizard7075]

On devrais interdire à la perfection d'exister, car le son qui sort de vos instruments l'égale de loin et mes larmes sont sorties toute seules... un pur instant d'émotion... magnifique, splendide, merveilleux... sortit d'un rêve... il n'y a pas d adjectif pour qualifier un si beau trio... bravo...

[@Murdo2112]

I love Rinat's face around the 11:30 mark. That's a proud father.

[@michaeljasso10]

always warmed my heart, but im now just finding out that's his daughter. OMG way more Amazing....

[@KARIBIKunderwater]

WOOOW! this is a treasure! THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS SO MARVELOUS!

[@MichelleFrets]

Thank you for posting this. I genuinely enjoyed listening and also seeing the three of you play. Very good musical chemistry between you two string players. Fantastic.

[@MichelleFrets]

I still like this very much, but why not? I gave more attention to the pianist this time. She really did a nice job too. I would imagine that an accompaniment with long stetched of nothing would be difficult.

[@mason11198]

8:15 this part is awesome! wow!

[@kayware9984]

If I could play my bass like this, I'd be set for the rest of my musical career

[@fanfulla1000]

roba dell'altro mondo ......che sogno ragazzi ascoltare questa musica è più efficace del migliore anti ansia in commercio........

[@gonzabaldassarri]

He solved the double bass.

[@HelenaWilliams8696]

Bottesini's Gran Duo is profoundly poetic musical melody. What a lovely rendition!

[@pierrehellouin2835]

Pierre Hellouin. Absolument fantastique. Remarquable interprétation. De plus, la maitrise techniques de ces trois instrumentistes, laisse croire qu'il n'y a aucune difficulté technique, le tout ajouté à un immense talent. Toute mon admiration, notamment au contrebassiste. BRAVO et mille fois Bravo.

[@atoms-to-atoms]

One of the greats..Rinat thanks for all the joy! Rip

[@daveming1]

Mr. Ibragimova, your combination of control and passion is unbelievable.

[@sergeifedosjeenko]

Лучшее исполнение дуэта скрипки с басом Боттезини, которое я слышал. :)

[@crystalaireantiquefans4535]

Rinat, you were and still are one of my biggest inspirations, i hope to be as good as you one day. May you play again someday, and until we meet again May you rest in peace

[@leitfie3579]

This is absolutely stunning - unbelievable virtuosity from both players in a piece which is quite decent musically too, very much a showpiece but not just that. I don't know when the video was made, but Alina is now 38 and pursuing a concert career of the very greatest distinction. Seeing her live, with an orchestra or playing chamber music with the Chiaroscuro Quartet or the pianist Cedric Tiberghien, is an unforgettable experience. 🎻

[@Tr0jan1337]

I have seen her live! It was epic :P she played the whole concerto with HUGE high heels!!

[@danielscheinhaus5210]

Fantastic playing by two great artists. What an unbelievable bassist!

[@dritanhekurani3780]

bravo bravo,both,is a concert very much achieved ..........special compliments to you, Rinat,you are my favorite double bass player

[@Mitsuki424]

I've only been playing violin for 3 months, following Suzuki method. Musicians like these wonderful people, they inspire me to improve. Thanks for posting this :)

[@TheClews]

stunning performance.

[@wehwalte]

It is not common to find such a taste along with precision in execution in double bassist, cheers to you, sometimes ones sees the Music, behind all that wood and steel and horse hair, sweat and patience.

[@erikasteponic]

TEARS. in my eyes... GaSP.

[@sauleaseviciute5668]

They even aren't dressed up with suits or fancy dresses, just looking casual and playing wonderful... That's the real art

[@nickmidget]

Digging Ibragimov so much right now...both of them.

[@swright12]

father and daughter. how incredible

[@Arkady2009]

Es Bottesini!!! Los grandes musicos pueden resucitar el alma del compositor y durante la musica ellos ya no existen. Existe Bottesini. Esto es el arte, bravo!

[@dr.pruneau]

My orchestra group and I saw just her live preform with the NC Symphony in a dress rehearsal. Great violinist.

[@clav4eg1]

Огромное спасибо вам! Ринат вы со своей дочкой просто шикарно заучите!! Осталось только снова сыграть в Большом Театре)) И еще раз ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО Вам за вклад в контрабасовое искусство!

[@GuillermoParejaHerrera]

Absolutely delightful trio ! Thanks a lot for your kindness.

[@KingYahshua]

[@hospitality5522]

Impressive performance particularly for intonation point of view.

[@danielscheinhaus5210]

Just intonation? Listen to Rinat's bowing! He's flawless! She's superb too!

Такого уровня у контрабасиста не видел, скрипка завораживает. Шок. Просто не реальная техника, Божественная музыка. Не могу наслушаться. Брависсимо.

[@fatioyosandoJamain]

11 years ago since the first time I watched this!

[@stevensutherland6087]

I had the supreme good fortune to hear this live, at a very rare public performance at Wimbledon International Music Festival in London in 2012 by the same 3 performers. I was in the second row of the audience. The couple to my left had travelled from Portugal just for this concert and the person behind me was a double bassist who had travelled from Tokyo just for this concert! Without doubt the best concert I’ve ever been to!

[@JohnHarmer]

wow what an amazing sound

[@mandolineslover]

WoOoOoW !!! BRAVOOO !!! !!! !!!

[@vlastaseibertova]

What an excellent and touching sound....love it !!!!!

[@marjeangomes4203]

This is beautiful music. The instruments compliment each other. I'm learning to play the violin . There is nothing like the classical teaching and training to develop skills.

[@JasonLeonPike]

Fantastic! Great work.

[@eiliscranitch2791]

beautifully played ....bravissimi !

[@ConnorHealeyProject]

Hey Joey, I am not a violinist, but a bassist currently working on this piece. This isn't exactly standard rep. like the Koussevitsky and Dittersdorf concertos, but it is quite popular. It is as technically difficult as it is aurally beautiful, which makes it a very rewarding piece to play. I don't know where you are in your playing career, but it makes a great recital piece for college and above. Best of Luck. -Connor H.

[@deormanrobey892]

Great. Now I have to start listening to Bottesini.

[@giobannearanmena5000]
