Catalin Rotaru, double bass, Haydn cello concerto part3

[bballbrotha6]

how can your right hand not be in pain after that? amazing.

[Villafane7]

I must thank you and Božo Paradžik for your performances of this piece. It does help fill the gap in curiosity surrounding the "lost" Haydn Bass concerto.

I would love to see you here in a masterclass someday. It is these performances that remind me (Though who needs to be reminded?) of why I love this instrument.

@Villafane7

Indeed, the Haydn concerto for bass is a great loss for our repertory; I also like Bozo's rendition of Haydn and admire his playing, although he plays it with a different tuning, using a high C string. Best wishes!

[ojr1983]

great, great, great!

[Mizzles240]

great job! just one question: why is it in a different key?

[bassocat]

@Mizzles240 I play it in C major on bass but in that concert I had to use solo tuning strings (which are tuned a step higher) so that's why it sounds in D

[pbaron23]

@bassocat Maestro sunteti incredibil! va puteti uita si la verziunea mea ?

Multumesc mult!

[Omega1988]

Incredible. Are you going to do the D-major too?

[bassocat]

@Omega1988

not yet; I just learned the Saint Saens A minor concerto so I'll play this one for a while. I'm glad you liked it

[arpibass]

[yangbass]

Haha, this is even faster than the last time i head you played it, bravo!

[ichliebebass]

Dear Professor Rotaru,

Your playing is really amazing and unbelievable. It's really difficult to imagine such piece is possible on bass. But I still remember what you said: Nothing is impossible. Bravo!
