Hector Tirado - doublebass / Vocalise - Serge Rachmaninoff

[FoucaultXXX]

Probably I may understand your performance.

Belle interprétation

Even if he wasn't deaf it's still quite good. The db is a tough instrument to play!

[HardcoreCowLip]

is he deaf? 

[StopTheMoti0n]

why the heck would you make a bass player stand on such a tiny platform????

[equamars1]

You may not understand, but Héctor Tirado is deaf!!!! It's very difficult to play the doublebass without the sense of hearing...

@equamars1 Do you know if Hector Tirado studied with Gary Karr at all? I studied with Karr in the summer of 2005, and he mentioned a deaf bassist who had studied with him. If it's the same person, he tunes by feeling the vibrations of the instrument against his body. In fact, it would be even more difficult for him on the violin. And apparently, his intonation is worse when he wears a hearing aid. What a person can't do with a little determination, eh?

[equamars1]

@MrMittendorf Well, I'm not really sure, but I know he feels the vibrations of the instrument and uses that perception in order to play, just what you said. I didn't believe that he really exists until I saw him playing in one of the many concertos that the Symphonic Orchestra of Puerto Rico gives. He may be the same person that Gary Karr mentioned, because I still haven't heard of another contra-bassist with a similar ability. He may not play incredibly well, but his persistence is admirable!

@MrMittendorf that's simply incredible.

Simplemente hermoso Profesor, me siento tan orgullosa de ser su estudiante. Es un honor tenerlo como profesor. :-)

Héctor, sigo admirando el talento que Papá Dios te dio. Me siento orgulloso de tí, como puertorriqueño y como educador de sordos que soy.

¡Vamos hacia el éxito, hermano!

I think Mr karr's play is unique and sophistique than other bass players.

Mr Karr. thats the great problem of you .

[vitoliuzzi]

Sorry Zimoo73,

it's my fault in writing in English. I'm honoured to write maestro Karr once a month by mail. He's incredible. "G" as "Genius".

BTW I have talked about Mr. Karr "Tirado" to say that Hector was his copy. I repeat: I listen well, but I never will be able to play like maestro TIRADO.

My best regards

@zimoo73 n'oublie pas Jean-Marc Rollez aussi ... 

[vitoliuzzi]

I've read on an Italian Forum that Tirado has great problems in earing, surely a disease.

This aspect changes everything.
