    This is awesome. I think it sounds best when Edgar is playing up high with the bow and Christian is playing the walking line. That way it has a little more contrast.

    I love the way Meyer never looks at his left hand, just staring off into space.

      @MikeKobb 6 років тому +1

      I wish I could answer, but I wasn't really familiar with a lot of the pieces, so I don't remember the names, and I didn't get a program. There were a number of originals by both of them. They each also played a piece where the other provided accompaniment on the piano. Great show.

    Both true masters of the bass, inspiring to watch. I also think it’s interesting how Edgar plucks with his fingers perpendicular to the strings while walking, it’s not something you see very often

      that technique is more common with classical pizzicato and edgar is more classically inclined. its super cool to see the styles blend

      Wrong. It is two masterful players showing how, with careful application of ambition, idea, practice, application, listening, transcribing, practice, listening, more practice et al, the bass musician can attain incredible heights of mastery over this incredible instrument and enable the musician to achieve her/his goals...obviously an ambition lost on a someone with the deadbeat attitude you display with your ignorant and ill-informed comment, shame on you.
