This song, this recording, they are both so beautiful! My eyes swell with tears every time I listen to it!

[@rekkaeerikki5410]

I wouldn’t even call that portamento anymore, that’s some spicy glissando!

[@micheleauteri-nu9ve]

Oggi nessuno più è in grado di suonare allo stesso modo del Maestro. La cavata, il tessuto interpretativo la vasta cultura consentivano allo stesso di poter rendere il brano nella migliore esposizione.

Que alguien me diga si de verdad es el mismísimo Koussevitzy el que está tocando D:!

[@josedanielospina]

Sí es

[@pablocaar4285]

Es el mismísimo Koussevitzky, tocando su propia composición como nadie jamás la volverá a tocar! Tristemente... Ya nadie comprende ni tiene siquiera un ligero sentido de sensibilidad musical con el la tenía! Solo queda agradecer por tener la dicha de escucharlo en estas grabaciones!!!

[@ailajyrkiainen6658]

Alle Achtung!!

¿Who plays?

[@michaelnigrin6599]

This is a recording of Koussevitzky playing his own composition on his famous Amati bass with gut strings. The sliding you hear was the playing style of his generation.

[@T3RB3R9]

@@michaelnigrin6599 his performance in these recordings is also heavily influenced by being out of practice. he largely retired as a bassist for decades and was one the world's top conductors. he made these recordings after many years with no public performances as a soloist, and at an advanced age. I suspect some of the sliding is just finding the pitches, frankly.
