We do not have a double bass masterclass in the catalogue, although we are gradually working our way around all the sections of the orchestra. If you want to suggest a maestro for a double bass masterclass, do let us know.

what a lovely video. Helmreson is so delicate. Its almost like his teaching echoes the beauty of the piece. very nice.

@Cheskkay

You are so right he's a wonderful teacher. Watch out for another masterclass DVD with Helmerson working on Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata. It will be out at the end of June and is just as good as the Dvorak.

This is great teaching! It is a mutual exploration of the music and beutifully filmed. Frans Helmerson offers his insights so gently without undermining the performer.

I'd love to see more like this!

I wish this young man were my boyfriend. His practicing wouldn't bug me one bit. And he's cute! A cute cellist! Ah, a perfect world.

i love how the whole video works on the most boring part of the best movement of the concerto, i was waiting for it to go on to the big explosive part after that but it didnt

I'm a singer....and the 1st thing I notice, is that Helmerson knows how to make the instrument sing! The analogy of allowing the glass to naturally overflow, is perfect for any singer to understand too! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!

@MusicianoftheStrings It's from the 1st movement of the Dvorak Cello Concerto. This excerpt is from about the middle of the movement.

[MusicianoftheStrings]

what is the exact name and movement of this piece?

[SketchMeyer]

I have one big question: do you guys have a masterclass for the double bass too?

[amoretpaxetgaudium]

Great masterclass. Wonderful teacher and student. But if I was that piano player... haha, I think I'd go crazy starting and stopping every few seconds! When I play piano, I'm just happy when I don't hit a wrong note!

And not every great musician is gay... even if they were, who cares?

[MusicPassion45678]

I want one of him. I hope there's more of him out there. ♥♥

[CelloDavide]

@KenoEsel What makes you think hes gay? hes got a wife ... haha...

[waeruo]
