@tomorocko He starts on G because he's in orchestral tuning (C major)- It's not a matter of whether or not someone is 'capable' of playing solo bass music in solo tuning- it's all the same fingerings, just strings tuned a whole step higher.

He's starts on a G? Dominic Seldis is MORE than capable to play this in the original key (as it is to my understanding) of D major. It makes the piece that bright A at the beginning. As I have seen Dominic Live and met him I know he is a SUPERB player and one of the worlds best bassist. Sounds good though...apart from the obvious :)

good version! BRavo!
-
beautiful!!
-
ok, my bad. i didn´t watch the entire speech. bassist is fantastic anyways.
-
yup, bass will do that to you, that's why I chose this song as my solo
fine playing but lost with that plinkety-plonk accompaniment - pity the poor pianist on that dreadful - no, you can't call it an instrument. Someone give him a Steinway, please!

This comment is a bit out of order. On the night the two of them made a joke about the "piano" because it isn't a proper piano. It's a dreadful electronic instrument that sounded just bad - not the pianist's fault!!!
