Giovanni Bottesini: Gran Duo Concertante
Augustin Hadelich, violin
Xavier Foley, bass
Chelsea de Souza, piano
I've never heard a bass played so lightly. What magic is this?
I’m guessing you are not a bass player. This stuff is what makes us keep going :), I recommend you a channel called double bass score. You’ll love it
@@Dany715gd thank you a lot for mentioning double bass score, I will check his videos out.
@@Dany715gd also markmortonbass
Listen to some Edgar Meyer!
@@Dany715gd One question...I've checked the score--the one I can find, a Russian-language arrangement of this...the opening bass gambit is not marked (that I can see) for harmonic pressure, but he seems to be doing that...first, is he? and is that simply understood in that register?
Anyone else who is ABSOLUTELY STUNNED by how good this is?
Yeah, my face is literally a puddle on the floor, this is so wild
Yes, absolutely 😲🤗
What a double bass player !!!
I had no idea a double bass could be played like that!
I certainly am.
Right here ✌🏻
I have never heard a double bass played like that! Phenomenal. And great ensemble playing, with verve, a sense of fun, & impeccable communication.
Bass player has amazing bow control
A pleasure to watch
I've known Xavior Foley since he was 14 and have seen him grow into the "Bass God" that he is now. I really believe he will be studied for generations to come in the future. He puts the bass on the map and makes you pay attention!
Phenomenal bass player! What talent and grace. 👍👍🙏🙏
He is absolutely brilliant but there were many bass gods before him
He's absolutely amazing. Can you tell me what is that attachment on his bass scroll?
@@dogbiscuit1171 It is called a C extension. On a standard string bass the lowest note is E. This extension lowers the range to a C below that, putting them a full octave below the cello.
The three musicians are all amazing. The way Mr Hadelich bends his knees....you know something amazing is gonna happen on the violin part. I love the bassist, so expressive and amazing in playing
BRAVO!
Ooof, they should record this. This is one of the tightest performances of this piece I've ever heard. That bass player is amazing! (Xavier Foley)
The trio rehearsal gave us fun and happiness. I really love this video.
I will watch this specific UA-cam ever so often and even get teary because I can hear and see how these instruments have a very lively communication going between the three of them ( don't miss the pianists!). Bravo! Bravo!! Mooi!! Wunderbaar!!
OH PLEASE RECOOORD THIS PERFORMANCE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE WORLD NEEDS IT
THey did record it. It is on youtube.
@@JD-hh9io I think the more educated commentator meant the full piece, this is just the finale, there are about 10 more minutes of delightful music to this Gran Duo and would be very nice to hear them do it.
😆 I love how they were finishing up there notes at the end and the pianist was already picking up her pencil.
The literal gods of juicy harmonics and saucy chamber music, how did this happen 🔥🔥😭😭
Man you create such a near overwhelming amount of sweetness with your sound Augustin
0:52 is stunning! The harmonics texture, the melody, the fact that the doublebass is higher than the violin... EVERYTHING!! :)
Isn't the bass a 6th below the violin?
Um ye exactly, the violin was like way higher than the double bass for like the whole video
Holy smokes. This is impressive! I had no idea a bass could go up that high!
I hate seeing people get impressed when they learn that the bass can use the upper half of their fingerboard but I also love it because it’s educational
@@gregoryf4186 ye same , why don’t people get it ? Like why can’t a bass use the upper half of the finger board when the violin , viola and cello can
@@gordonwu6828 well as a violinist i wouldnt expect it since it seems less practical since you have to reach your arm so farm down to reach those notes. it seems llike it would be really hard and abnormal to do constantly
@@nitelite4340 same ? I play both violin and cello , I just don’t get it ? Just because it’s abnormal and hard to do it , doesn’t mean the bass can’t get that high
@@gordonwu6828 likely, the general public haven't witnessed a performance like this. It's wonderful to be surprised, amazed and delighted.
It's so nice to see Augustin is enjoying music with other fantastic musicians!! ❤️
The music is perfection. The interactions between the two soloists with their own instruments and with each other is as good as a ballet.
I watched this a year ago. Then i saw the bass player live. His art is fabulous. Two of my favorites now.
Seriously, I'm in stunned awe. I don't think I've heard the bass sound so sweet. And the agility is outstanding. Wow!
Good Good Good Good. Simply damned GOOD and DELIGHTFUL!😇
Absolutely brilliant!! Technically and musically. Pure joy
Meraviglioso Augustin con il Gran Duo Concertante!
Wow! Amazing trio. We all know Augustin is amazing, that bass player was a great surprise.
the bass player made it look so easy, absolutely masterful
The best I ever hear,soft,feeling every note ,such a good combination,couldnt be better.
Incredible that Augustin plays even this rarely performed triffle by heart. Besides that I admire always his effortless elegance.
There is so much joy in the way you three masters interpret this music. I thoroughly enjoyed listening and watching you! thank you for this treat
They are enjoying playing and we are grateful watching them.As happy as they are, maybe even more. Thank you.
Discovered this video a year ago, and I'm still freaking out every time
Wonderful … ! We have the Bottesini Gran Duo Concertante programmed for the 2022 Martinborough Music Festival in September and we can't wait … ! What a way to whet the appetite … ❤
Just one world MARVELOUS!!!🙏!!
Love to see you playing with joy and also with Augustin, my favorite violinvirtuose❤️
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that is absolutely blown away by the way the bass is played
I must say, the ensemble is just beautifully aligned to compliment each other
I saw another comment but I can't find it now, but I too, can now be mistaken for smoking while walking my dog while listening to this
I'm so obsessed with this piece and listened/watched so many different interpretations recently. Really love these two. Would love to hear the entire performance.
Wow! This is piece is so much fun to listen to! I saw Augustin Hadelich's name and knew I had to listen. But, truly, amazing musicians, all of them! Phenomenal! Incredible ensemble!
Damn, that was some of the best double bass playing I have ever heard.
Once the violin plays, I immediately gets pulled into the music. Every single time. You are amazing.
I keep coming back for this again and again
Lindo, perfeito, sem palavras...
🥰 🎼🎵🎶 augustin ❤️
Who says only peaceful, serene music is for bedtime? This jovial and cheerful tune will make me go to bed wearing a smile
:-D Thank You, Augustin Hadelich!
Back again for another joyful listen. 0:56 nicely done...lilting lovely and totally enjoyable...egads! So unfair that we cannot all join in!
Grand Bravo à vous 3.... Coup de cœur pour la contrebasse ! Malgré un violon et piano extraordinaires.
Alas, it's so beautiful 😍
Holy Mother of God!!! Fantastic!! Almost unreal.....impossible feats of technical mastery!
This is just delightful beyond belief. Musicianship of the very highest caliber. The best part is the attitude brought to the music-making and to the connection between human beings that is possible when it's done right. Joy!!
Absolutely fabulous!
And this is practice? How can it be any better? Bravo!👏👏👏
Incredible sound from that double bass, wonderful playing all. thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
i had no idea a bass could do that. he is really good musician! accompanists never get enough credit. she is just there supporting the tones of the music and doing it so well!
oh jeez, they are so perfect together ~ tone for tone. 🎻🌷
Pure musical joy! And of course perfection
This put a smile on my face and literally made me lol.
This is musical perfection!!!
Stunned. Exhilarating, joyous and effortlessly virtuosic playing.
i'd love to watch this concert! From now on, i'm a big fan of Mr. Foley as I am of Mr Hadelich. I hope it's broadcast on UA-cam.
👏👏👏😁😁😁 I can not get enough of this wonderful rendition!!!!
How utterly delightful!
I saw Augustin play before the shut down and he was by far the best violinist I'd heard in YEARS. Foley is no slouch either. That piece is a beast.
Oufti... J'adore particulièrement le passage en tierces où vous souriez de plaisir !
Just WOW WOW WOW!!!!Love it.
This was an immense joy to watch and listen to. The bass is such an undervalued instrument. What the three of you did here was a perfect masterpiece of precision and communication. Thank you very, very much!
Bravissimo the bass. It seems so simple!
No I’m not stunned, because it’s really really awesome and Augustin and Xavier are amazing and stunning too. I really really love ❤️ this, because there’s so much enjoyment between these artist’s, and it comes across in their playing too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Honestly am just happy to still get content from this guy.
The is the second video of Maestro Foley's that I have watched and I just watching him play! What a great virtuoso, and what clear pleasure he takes in performance. Bravo to this whole ensemble!
THIS DUO OMG NO WAYYYYYY, this is too much for my young ears 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 how are y’all so wicked 😳😳😳
So CoOL!!!! I like It... Virtuoso, cantabile, funny....
How precious! Thank you so much for sharing! Absolutely brilliant!🌻🎉
Amazing!!!
Inevitably the music brings intrinsic in its context, more than the sounds themselves.
An intimacy with the composition and instruments is perceived, as well as a noble and rare virtue, which is the admiration for others.
Notice how they express admiration and respect for each other.
For me, music goes much further than sound.
Exactly! I love your comment. Something I felt but wouldn't have been able to express.
What a treasure,amazing,love itttttttt👏👏👏👏👏👏💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you that is really awesome!!
This made my morning! Thank you!

Wow, this was so enjoyable to watch - y’all are having so much fun! :)
Oh my God ❤️ what an amazing delight 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you.
I love this one! So lighthearted, and the playing is exceptional! Thank you for sharing this!
love this piece sooooo much!!!! It's so joyful!
I love the infectious joy in the music, in your playing, and on your faces! 😃
Wow. Had a smile from ear to ear the whole time! Bravo!
This video never fails to put a smile on my face
