    That double bass is a laboratory where you can do experiments and discover new things.

    Never really thought of the double bass being played like this. Thanks for bringing me a new perspective of the instrument

    An absolute tour de force. Unbelievable. One of the best versions I’ve ever heard of this piece, on one of the most difficult and awkward instruments you could possibly imagine. Bordering on miraculous.
