Bottesini Double Bass Concerto No. 1 in F-sharp Minor, Mvt. 1, Xavier Foley, double bass

[PicardFan94]

That is absolutely amazing. I had never listened to Bottesini 1 before watching this video, but after seeing it played this way I honestly like this more than his second concerto.

I went to high school with Xavier, and not only is he a great musician, he is a very nice kid :)

Great job, the original is in F#, but b minor is common like the David Walter edition. I like it in both keys

[limboline239]

Why was this performed in F Sharp minor? Wasn't the original in B Minor?.....

[xantkarlfly]

@limboline239 correct, the original is in B minor, but i like it in F sharp minor, also, the people in the audience didn't mind it being in F Sharp minor, so that is why i performed it in F sharp minor :)

[Kontrabass7]

哇，拉得真棒

[dcco76]

Finally someone playing No.1 instead of No.2!

Don't get me wrong: I love both of them, just its so rare to find someone performing No. 1 these days....

[tkder99]

AHHH THOSE HARMONICS :) :) :)

[rinatibragimov]

amazing! what are you going to do for the next 20 years if your playing is like that now?

[nebakenezzer]

they should kick that lady who was coughing out

ruining your performance,

that was some classy class beyond my realm of understanding

[BassCausality]

holy cow! your tone is mind blowing.

[xantkarlfly]

[carolineemery]
