Beatufiul rendition! He definitely made it his own, interesting fingering choices and touching glissandos.

My husband Andrew and I watched you perform that wonderful music piece Solo last evening at UVM Recital Hall, and encourage you to keep going as long you love it. You were a joy to watch and piece was excellent. Sphinx was quite the support for that work, too!

They make their playing sound as fluid as a violin despite the overwhelming size of the double bass. Just wow. So glad I got to see this. Thank you for posting.

Bravo Xavier! EXELENTE!!!!! What a magnificently passionate playing of Bottesini to the next level x 5! Xavier not only made this his own he played it with such finesse and passion that I’m sure that Giovanni Bottesini would give Xavier a standing ovation for his exceptional talent in bringing the double bass to the forefront of the orchestra with the finesse of Isaac Pearlman. Looking forward to Xavier’s continued growth and inspiration to double bassist everywhere as well as classical and all music lovers!!!

I wish every person on the planet can see these young, talented Black men and women who are a part of this burgeoning art. Blacks are NOT monolithic, and there are way too many generalizations attached to Black people. We are not one-dimensional. We represent a myriad of not only physical characteristics, but talents and gifts.

I've seen this on Julliard students even in cello but after so many years playing i realized that bow hold doesn't care anymore, i played 6 years italian style and the last 7 i have been playing german and there are like 100 ways of use the bow depending on the person body. If that bow holding work for Xavier that's fantastic he is an amazing soloist.

Why in A minor and not B minor? How is the original? B minor is more difficult i think. But dude, so awesome!!! Totally enjoyed it :O I hope i'll play this once :D Thanks. Solo Deo Gratia!
