I saw Catalin Rotaru last friday playing this elegy with the Guayaquil Symphony Orchestra... it was such a beautiful performance... excellent technique and artistry...
This is terrific playing! Catalin has terrific technique and wonderful tone production; his superb musicianship makes this somewhat hokey piece a real pleasure to experience.
I listened to Grossman play this piece at a concert about 3 weeks ago. This song is so beautiful I could cry, and indeed have done so in the past while listening to this song.
I was looking for free online sheet music...and I stumbled across this piece...call me dumb, but I'm going to try my best to learn it and use it for auditions in 2 weeks...it's way out of my league, but what the heck...
BRAVO. The sound of your instrument is the most beautiful on YouTube !!!. Very and very sweet. You know, on YT there is a very good double bass player but his sound is too full of treble, terrible. I like a lot your way of playing ... and you know it.
I remember you! You know it's very difficult to record a double bass. Now the digital sound sometimes destroys the original source. Then too thin strings destroys the original tone. In Rotaru this no happens. It's a difficult question.

@DomingosRibeiroBass hm. I think Streicher plays it much to slow. BUT he has his interpretation, what is really positive in my eyes.

Can somebody please tape Catalin playing Faure's Elegy? I've never heard anybody play it like he does, and it needs to be on youtube.

this song is incredibly hard, just make sure you have a recording of the way you want it to sound if you only have two weeks.
