They say playing this on violin is the Mount Everest of violin pieces, so I can't imagine what we can compare playing it on a bass should be compared to! Absolutely astounding!

[@ingridwagner3803]

This is almost superhuman. If Bach had heard that, there would certainly be Suiten /Partitas for solo double bass🤩

[@michaelpoulosjr.2249]

I’m convinced if Bach were alive today, he’d be a bass player. He’d probably play metal, too 🤘

[@colinetsegers]

Never would I have thought possible to play Bach's Chaconne for violin on a double bass, and certainly not on such a highly expressive musical level.

[@MichaelShingo]

Best double bass Bach I've ever heard

[@maximebertrand5626]

Listen Florentin Ginot Chaconne my friend...

[@amletomatteucci2580]

thank you for making us understand again that the double bass is the most beautiful instrument in the world, you are the best

[@cascanicoff5763]

Ein fantastischer Kunststück, wie immer. So schön... Danke für die Musik

[@alejandrogonzaleznovoa5956]

Incredible performance, perfect, sublime and the Klang farben of your bass is absolutely beautiful!

[@andrewchristianbrundidge]

AMAZING Dominik! 👏👏👏

[@robreluctantblogger]

Really first class playing. Thank you. When I was a young bassist I never experienced playing anywhere near this quality or ambition. Young players now have such amazing examples available to them and it will advance the art of the double bass terrifically.

[@Cellorist]

Als Cellorist, welcher an verschiedenen Transkriptionen kämpft weiß ich genau um diese enorme Leistung. Stay strong and continue to give it all!

[@eduardramos7438]

As a young aspiring double bassist, i absolutely love your style of playing, you’re one of my biggest inspirations right now and I definitely will search for a masterclass with you in short my friend!💪🏼

[@user-jv3cs7fd3e]

Had no idea this was even possible for the instrument, and if so, never have I imagined with such an interpretation. I cried, figuratively. Well done.❤

[@EndOfExistence1337]

Check out Florentin Ginots version as well

[@sofijapalurovic989]

Congratulations on this masterpiece of an arrangement and interpretation ❤️

[@sooniceguy2783]

Beautiful. I was so sad when you stopped playing 😢

[@doublebass7379]

Until now your absolute masterpiece. I'm already looking forward to your next one 😊👍

[@steveleeatfullmeasure]

Gish, five years VERY well spent. Just outstanding. Thank you.

[@pacificcoastpianos]

You and your bass are both incredibly beautiful. Totally hooked ❤

[@KevinKeith]

Your tone and phrasing is magnificent. Amazing!

[@FortyHurts]

An inspiration, as always.

[@johnyohe5057]

just wow...

[@brittenmusic6923]

Oh my....a Bass transcription of one of the greatest pieces of music created. ❤

[@JackHenry70mew]

textbook playing, and yet it's not boring⭐️ i wish i knew the back of my hand as well as dominik wagner knew his bass

[@Bu-bo-Bu-bo]

Your playing is as good as your instrument, this is really really good, I love the sound of this, thank you, it's heavenly

[@MarianneMichiels]

[@vjjhgj5565]

Bravo! may your hands rest in peace

Are you gonna play the whole partita? would love to hear you on that!

[@freeathos8916]

standing ovation! great performance..mastery of the instrument..faithfull rendering of a tremendously difficult piece of music..congratulations❤

[@hailthemightytriff]

Absolutely amazing preformance! I'm so happy to see this piece get picked up by more bass players.

[@kenshiro366]

assoluto

[@ryananderson845]

I complain when I play this on the viola, I can't even imagine on a double bass

[@ositoCastro]

Excellent as usual. Super solo strings or other tuning?

[@ryanpetriello3461]

It sounds like regular solo tuning to me, at least for the top 3 strings.

[@ositoCastro]

@@ryanpetriello3461 yes, he plays in G, sounding in A

[@bernard-philippevallino4965]

Va surement falloir que je m'achète une paire de bretelles...

[@heatherbird6929]

Buy the music he has spent 6 years editing. It's hard as hell but it makes aense.

[@Igor_Itkin]

Wait, this should be impossible

[@MingusDynastyy]

wtf

[@martinwerner1330]

This contains too many modifications of the original text (notes as well as harmonic content). If the piece can't be played on a double bass without jeopardizing its integrity, just leave it alone. I do respect your accomplishment as a player.

[@xX_69Kneecap420_Xx]

he like acutally has to throw up gang signs to get the chords

[@xX_69Kneecap420_Xx]

anyone know what strings he uses

[@vegasharmon1577]

Looks to be spirocores on the bottom 2 and belcantos on the top 2
